March 12, 2018
Espoo, Finland - Nokia today launched a new cloud-native
Enterprise Session Border Controller (eSBC) that brings secure,
ultra-high-quality IP voice and video services to enterprise
customers.
Enterprises upgrading their outdated communications networks
from IP PBX to UC and UCaaS systems face a number of challenges in
ensuring high-quality voice and video calls, connecting existing
islands of communications infrastructure and in protecting their
networks against malicious attacks.
Acting as the gatekeeper of enterprise communications
applications, Nokia eSBC software mitigates cyber-attacks,
optimizes the use of IP bandwidth for communications and blocks
unauthorized access attempts. It also delivers a continual
high-quality IP voice and video experience by using call admission
control to prevent network overload, and by simplifying and
optimizing communication paths in the network.
Based on the technology that meets the stringent requirements of
large communications service providers worldwide, Nokia eSBC allows
enterprises to cost-effectively control, secure and manage media as
well as signaling streams that cross the network edges. It is a
cloud-native software solution that runs on popular hypervisors,
providing enterprise customers with the latest features and
capabilities while allowing them to pay for only what they need,
resulting in reduced operational and capital expenses. It also
allows them to easily connect all types of PBX, Voice over IP
(VoIP), call center and UC systems within their networks.
Bhaskar Gorti, president of Nokia Software, said: "Nokia
eSBC gives enterprises the same ultra-high reliability, quality and
security that our service provider customers currently enjoy for
their communications networks. It delivers a comprehensive set of
capabilities that help enterprises protect their business
efficiently and cost effectively. It also allows them to easily
take advantage of new features as their needs change by simply
enabling licenses or installing software updates."
Irwin Lazar, vice president and service director at Nemertes
Research, said: "Plans for private cloud SBCs have more than
tripled in the last year. Our 2018 Unified Communications and
Collaboration Study shows that more than 35 percent of
organizations are now deploying or planning to deploy SBCs as
virtual software. IT leaders cite flexibility, scalability, and
cost considerations as driving their decision to move to private
cloud. Cloud-native solutions such as Nokia eSBC have the potential
to address these enterprise requirements."
Leveraging automation and analytics insights, Nokia eSBC makes
it significantly easier for enterprises to optimize the quality and
performance of their communications networks. Additional features
of Nokia eSBC include:
- Comprehensive communications security in a single
software product provides complete protection for voice and video
communications.
- Built-in WebRTC gateway delivers communications services
directly to smartphones, tablets or any device via a web browser,
while retaining protection for signaling and media interfaces.
- Leverages Nuage Networks Software-Defined Networking
(SD-WAN) capabilities to optimize media routing between
enterprise branches and implement additional security policies for
voice and video traffic.
- SIP trunking reduces the cost to connect calls to the
public telephone network and simplifies the communications streams
within the enterprise network.
- Key interworking functions, including transcoding, call
recording, signaling and media encryption, and Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP) normalization, deliver maximum flexibility.
AvailabilityNokia Enterprise Session Border Controller
will be generally available by the end of March 2018.
