Frequently Asked Questions
What is a session border controller and why do enterprises need one?
A session border controller (SBC) is a network security appliance that sits at the edge of your VoIP infrastructure, protecting against threats while managing call routing, protocol conversion, and media handling. Enterprises deploy SBCs like the Ribbon SBC 5400 to ensure secure, reliable communications across multiple networks and carrier connections.
How does the dual chassis configuration improve reliability?
The dual 5400-2GB chassis in this high availability package provides redundancy and automatic failover capabilities. If one chassis experiences issues, the second seamlessly takes over, ensuring zero downtime for your critical communications infrastructure.
What does 6000 sessions RTU mean?
The 6000 sessions RTU (Ready-to-Use) licensing indicates this Ribbon SBC 5400 configuration can simultaneously handle up to 6000 active call sessions. RTU licensing means the capacity is pre-provisioned and ready for immediate deployment without additional activation steps.
Does the Ribbon SBC 5400 support IPv6 migration?
Yes. The SBC 5400 includes built-in IPv4-IPv6 interworking capabilities, allowing your organization to transition to IPv6 networks while maintaining compatibility with legacy IPv4 systems and endpoints.
