AUDIOCODES
AudioCodes is a provider of voice networking and media processing solutions for various communication systems. One of its key features is the Session Border Controller (SBC). An SBC is a device or software application that sits at the border of a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) network, performing a variety of functions related to call control, security and interoperability.
Security and access control
SBCs act as a firewall for VoIP networks, protecting them from malicious attacks and unauthorized access. They help secure communication by controlling which devices are authorized to connect and communicate with the network.
Interoperability
In a VoIP network, different devices and systems may use different communication protocols and codecs. SBCs can act as protocol and codec translators, enabling communication between devices using different standards.
Quality of service (QoS)
SBCs can help maintain voice call quality by managing network traffic and prioritizing voice packets, to ensure minimum latency and jitter.
Media transcoding
When devices with different audio codecs need to communicate, an SBC can perform real-time transcoding, converting audio streams from one codec to another.
Call routing
SBCs can route calls between different networks or domains, to ensure they reach their destination efficiently.
NAT Crossing
SBCs can help overcome network address translation (NAT) problems, which can sometimes hamper VoIP communication.
Policy application
SBCs can enforce specific policies and rules for call handling, which can be paramount in business environments where regulatory compliance and call management are essential.
