The Network-adaptive Border Controller (N-aBC) is a true next generation security and session management platform, designed to address the short-comings of today’s Session Border Controllers (SBC).
The N-aBC is available in two distinct configurations:
- Integrated N-aBC (N-aBC INT) for compact access and peering applications
- Distributed N-aBC (N-aBC DST) for large scale network peering applications.

Some of the unique capabilities built into the N-aBC include:
- Integrated support for both SIP/H.323 and SS7 services enabling service providers to fully leverage their investment in TDM services as they migrate toward an all-IP next generation network
- Centralized routing and session management providing real-time global optimization of session handling, resulting in lower network costs and higher quality services
- Centralized local and global security and call-admission control policies significantly simplifying the management of security policies while increasing their granularity and effectiveness
- Industry leading VoIP compression without sacrificing voice quality dramatically lowering network transport costs and minimizing the risks of network congestion or overload
- Application-independent security and session management simplifying the development and management of new applications
- Centralized, network-wide, operations support lowering the cost to deploy, maintain and manage both TDM and IP services
The N-aBC addresses the key shortcomings in current generation SBCs, provides significant additional benefits and delivers graceful network evolution for service providers.
