Overview
EdgeMarc Enterprise Session Border Controllers (ESBC) are used to connect
enterprises to cloud-based services such as SIP trunking and hosted PBX. They are
also used by the enterprise for business-to-business video conferencing and branch
office connectivity. Available for small to large enterprise environments, all EdgeMarc
products provide a VoIP and video-aware NAT/Firewall, protocol harmonization for
interoperability of VoIP and video devices, active VoIP line testing, call quality
monitoring, survivability, QoS and more.
The EdgeMarc ESBCs can be deployed initially as low-cost WAN access routers and
then licensed through software for more advanced VoIP features and increased call
performance. The EdgeMarc is the ideal platform for service providers and enterprise
organizations offering DIA, hosted VoIP and managed security services or enterprises
migrating to converged voice and data networks.
The EdgeMarc 4603 combines a 24 FXS port Integrated Access Device (IAD) and
multiple voice and data features into a single, easy-to-use Enterprise Session Border
Controller. It provides up to four (4) integrated T1 Channel Service Units (CSU)/Data
Service Units (DSU) for medium and large office connectivity.
Service providers and enterprise organizations use the EdgeMarc 4603 to connect IP,
TDM and analog-based PBXs to SIP trunking services. The EdgeMarc 4603
automatically manipulates SIP messages and features advanced inspection
capabilities that enable it to be deployed in many different environments with a wide
range of PBXs and SIP trunking services. It is the ideal platform for service providers
and enterprise organizations for use in SIP trunking, hosted VoIP and other converged
services.
The EdgeMarc 4603 resolves NAT/FW traversal problems for SIP and
H.323 traffic. It allows a single public IP address to be used for multiple VoIP
clients. VoIP survivability enables continuous service during WAN link
failures. Survivability can use either the FXO ports on the EdgeMarc 4603 or
an external gateway.
