The Audiocodes Mediant 800 Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) - 5 SBC sessions M800-ESBC-5 provides Perimeter Defense as a way of protecting companies from malicious VoIP attacks; mediation for allowing the connection of any PBX and/or IP-PBX to any Service Provider; and Service Assurance for service quality and manageability. Designed as a cost-effective appliance, the Mediant 800 Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) - 5 SBC sessions is based on field-proven VoIP and network services with a native host processor, allowing the creation of purpose-built multiservice appliances, providing smooth connectivity to cloud services, with integrated quality of service, SLA monitoring, security and manageability.
A highly integrated device for VoIP, Security " " Access, forming a single managed point of demarcation
Based on three core foundations: Perimeter Defense, Mediation and Service Assurance
Standards-based solution with proven intero perability
Software license scalability up to 60 secured SBC VoIP sessions
Encryption for communication privacy and prevention of eavesdropping
Transparent communication for mobile users
Survivability with PSTN Failover
IP-to-IP protocol normalization and media transcoding
Proven Voice Quality superiority
Media Processing for Transcoding, Gain Control, DTMF/Fax, etc.
Extensive filtering and admittance policies
The native implementation of SBC provides a host of additional capabilities that are not possible with standalone SBC appliances, such as VoIP mediation, PSTN access survivability, and third party value-added services applications.
This enables enterprises to utilize the advantages of converged networks and eliminate the need for standalone appliances.
Why Enterprise Session Border Controllers?
Session Border Controllers were traditionally deployed at the border of service provider core networks. Both Enterprises and Service Providers have now realized the essential need of enterprise-based session border controllers, located at the customer premises for addressing the security, mediation and SLA requirements of the Enterprise. The Mediant 800 E-SBC provides an open and flexible architecture for all Enterprise deployments, acting as the demarcation point between an Enterprise and a SIP Trunking provider, an enterprise and a hosted Unified Communication service provider or an enterprise and other organizations for direct VoIP calling.

Enterprise Session Border Controller and Security Services
AudioCodes’ Mediant 800 E-SBC is designed as a secured VoIP platform. Enhanced Media Gateway security features include encryption schemes, such as SRTP for media, TLS for SIP control, IPSec for management, and Denial of service protection. A fully featured Enterprise-class Session Border Controller provides a secured voice network deployment, based on the embedded Back-to-Back User Agent (B2BUA).
Integrated PSTN connectivity
AudioCodes’ Mediant 800 E-SBC is built upon a highly interoperable VoIP Media Gateway, which can be delivered in several pre-defined configurations: a single E1/T1/J1 trunk and up to 4 BRI ports (8 calls) or 12 analog (FXS/FXO) ports. In addition, the Mediant 800 E-SBC provides enhanced dialing plans and voice routing capabilities along with its SIP to SIP mediation, allowing business customers to enjoy the benefits of SIP Trunking services, IP Centrex connectivity, Unified Communications, as well as flexible PSTN and legacy PBX connectivity to VoIP.
