The Communi5 Softswitch can work as an Interconnect Session Border Controller (SBC), providing secure and efficient interconnection between telecom carriers, service providers, and enterprise networks. It ensures protocol interoperability, traffic optimization, and security while managing media streams and call signaling.
The Communi5 Softswitch includes an RTP proxy for media streams, facilitating seamless communication between different network domains while offering topology hiding, media transcoding, and lawful interception capabilities.
Key Benefits of Using the Communi5 Softswitch as an Interconnect SBC :
1. Secure & Reliable SIP Interconnection
- Provides robust security against fraud, DoS attacks, and unauthorized access.
- Supports TLS/SRTP for encrypted media transmission.
2. Protocol & Media Interoperability
- Supports SIP and SIP-I, for flexible interconnection.
- Offers transcoding for different voice codecs and DTMF interworking to ensure seamless communication.
3. Carrier Gateway Function
- The Softswitch still supports legacy protocols like SS7, ISDN, INAP, MAP, and CAMEL, SIGTRAN and H.248/MEGACO and can replace and/or integrate legacy network components.
4. Intelligent Call Routing & Traffic Optimization
- Flexible interfaces to external databases via AAA, REST or direct SQL for call control integration (ACL, Fraud protection, Value-Add numbers,…)
- Implements Least Cost Routing (LCR) for cost-effective traffic management.
- Ensures Quality of Service (QoS) with advanced RTP handling and traffic prioritization.
5. High Availability & Geo-Redundancy
- Supports geo-redundant deployments for carrier-grade reliability.
- Enables load balancing and failover mechanisms to prevent service disruptions.
6. Regulatory Compliance & Lawful Interception
- Provides built-in support for lawful interception (LI).
- Ensures compliance with carrier regulations and emergency call requirements.
By deploying the Communi5 Softswitch as an Interconnect SBC, service providers and carriers can achieve secure, scalable, and cost-efficient SIP interconnection, ensuring high-quality voice communication, network security, and operational efficiency across different networks.
