Intelligent Edge - Enterprise Session Border Controllers

Deploying voice communications over the internet can create quality and security issues that do not normally exist with traditional phone systems. To overcome these issues, Intelligent Edges are deployed on the customer network edge to ensure successful VoIP implementations. VoIP service providers deploy an Intelligent Edge in the form of an enterprise session border controller (eSBC) to improve voice quality and visibility into the customer environment, supporting both SIP trunking and hosted unified communications. Ribbon Communications’ EdgeMarc 2900e and 2900a Power over Ethernet (PoE) Intelligent Edge devices are ideally suited for hosted-PBX applications that require PoE functionality to power IP endpoints.
