Audiocodes mediant 800 e-sbc Data Sheet
Vast mediation capabilities and proven interoperability
In a world of growing choices of voice coders and SIP flavors, enterprises
and services providers alike must ensure interoperability for successful
integration and service delivery. The Mediant 800 E-SBC, with its
extensive media processing capabilities, supports a wide range of voice
coders as well as SIP normalization, fax handling, gain control and
numerous additional media processing features.
As a direct evolution of the field-proven and highly interoperable
Mediant family of VoIP media gateways, the Mediant 800 E-SBC provides
unparalleled interoperability, enabling mediation between an extensive
list of IP and TDM-based PBXs and SIP Trunking providers.
Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE)
AudioCodes Mediant 800 E-SBC supports enhanced IP Quality of
Service (QoS) enforcement and Quality of Experience (QoE)
Monitoring. Leveraging the BroadSoft PacketSmart embedded agent
(a SaaS-based lifecycle management solution), the Mediant 800
E-SBC enables service providers and multi-site enterprises to assess
networks, certify VoIP deployments, and measure, monitor, track, and help
optimize the QoE of their VoIP services. The PacketSmart solution is
either offered as a public cloud service or within the customer’s data
center in a private cloud deployment. AudioCodes’ Mediant 800
E-SBC also supports enhanced IP Quality of Service (QoS), including
thernet frame tagging (802.1p), IP packet marking (Diffserv), and traffic
shaping.
Survivability Services
Customers served by a centralized, SIP-based IP Centrex server
(or branch offices in distributed enterprises) may face service
discontinuities in case of WAN failure. The integrated SAS (Stand- Alone
Survivability) feature of the Mediant 800 E-SBC enables internal office
communication between SIP clients (e.g., IP Phones), along with PSTN
fallback, in case of disconnection from the centralized IP Centrex server
or IP-PBX.
Value-Added Services by an Open Platform for 3rd-Party
Applications
AudioCodes’ Mediant 800 E-SBC extends the flexibility of a standalone
SBC with the built-in Open Solution Network (OSN) server option (based
on an Intel processor). Independent Software Vendors and OEM
customers can utilize this integrated, general purpose server to host
their own applications (e.g., IP-PBX, IVR, Call Center, Conferencing, and
more).
Applications
Sip Trunking Solution
Using the Mediant 800 E-SBC, SMB customers can seamlessly migrate
from legacy PSTN connectivity to cost-effective SIP Trunking Services.
The Mediant 800-ESBC provides security, session mediation and service
level assurance services, connecting the SMB to multiple SIP Trunking
providers, while maintaining interoperability and manageability.
Hosted Centrex Solution
IP Centrex solutions rely on VoIP technology, whose implementation
may present significant challenges, especially to businesses without
prior VoIP experience. One of the challenges is service continuity during
WAN outages. The Mediant 800 E-SBC, with its Stand-Alone Survivability
feature, is able to monitor registrations to the SIP Proxy, so that if
connectivity is lost the Mediant 800 E-SBC can continue to serve in both
internal and external calling capacities.
