Frequently Asked Questions
What is a session border controller and why do I need one?
A session border controller (SBC) is a network security appliance that manages and secures IP communications between different networks. The Ribbon SBC 5400 protects your infrastructure by controlling call signaling, encrypting media, normalizing protocols, and enforcing policies—essential for service providers and enterprises handling sensitive voice and video traffic.
Can the SBC 5400 handle more than 10,000 sessions?
Yes. While this configuration is licensed for 10,000 concurrent sessions, the same hardware platform supports scaling up to 75,000 sessions with appropriate licensing upgrades, making it a future-proof investment for growing networks.
Does the Ribbon SBC 5400 support IPv6?
Absolutely. The SBC 5400 includes IPv4-IPv6 interworking capabilities, allowing seamless communication between legacy IPv4 and modern IPv6 networks while maintaining security and call quality.
What makes the dual chassis configuration valuable?
The dual 5400 chassis design provides redundancy and high availability, ensuring your IP communications infrastructure remains operational even during maintenance or component failures—critical for carrier-grade service delivery.
