Get in the Know, Helping Your Business to Grow

For large yet geographically separated divisions of an enterprise, the ability to seamlessly integrate various networks and devices through third party bridges and gateways is key. When organizations are forced to first adjust either the networks or the devices in order to allow them to interact, it can be catastrophic in terms of both efficiency and productivity lost to a firm.


As time passes and new solutions and products are continuing to be introduced to the market at the speed similar to that of a flying super hero, keeping a corporate infrastructure up-to-date is vital to the success of an organization in the long term. Businesses have tight budgets these days and need to do more with less, thus throwing away money on a technological innovation that will quickly become outdated is just not an option.

An upcoming webinar titled, “Integration at the Edge: Maximizing Results, Minimizing Risk and Investment,” which is slated to take place on Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. ET/ 11:00 a.m. PT, will be discussing ways in which service providers can dramatically drive network optimization by leveraging cost-effective technologies . In fact, according to company officials the not-to-miss event will also highlight how the use of flexible, intelligent devices, such as gateways and transcoding solutions, enable a variety of IP Services (VoIP, unified communications, video, call recording, SIP trunking) while minimizing capital investment, leveraging existing infrastructure, and mitigating service disruption and the need for user retraining.

Jeff Dworkin, director of Marketing, Sangoma Technologies (News - Alert) will be the designated speaker of this session. While Dworkin is currently responsible for continuously enhancing his company’s marketing goals such as strategies, campaigns and programs, he boasts a large amount of expertise within the VoIP space totaling over 25 years. In addition, Erik Linask (News - Alert), group editorial director, TMC.net, will be serving as moderator.

If you are looking to learn the ins and outs of leveraging a TDM Core for media and signaling delivery from IP connected devices, ways to transition from a TDM Infrastructure to a hybrid TDM/IP infrastructure and how multi-purpose edge devices can in essence “future proof” network investments, then be sure to attend this complimentary webinar by clicking here now.

Session Border Controllers have come a long way since they were first conceived in the early 2000s as a simple, security-focused element. As service providers and enterprises began deploying more advanced real-time applications over IP-including Unified Communications, video, instant messaging, and conferencing-the burden on SBCs grew in step.

As the boundaries between VoIP and IP-based data networks continue to blur, enterprises would be wise to apply the same levels of network security across all entrypoints. Session border controllers are designed to protect VoIP network borders from unauthorized entry, but not all SBCs are created equal in terms of security features and functionality.
