Prepare, Protect & Provide with Sangoma SBCs

There’s a lot to consider at the moment. With a hope of returning to the office on the horizon, hybrid working and the ISDN switch off looming, ensuring your solutions are future-proof should be a top priority.

PREPARE for the ISDN Switch off

Customers reluctant to switch over to SIP

 Inserting an SBC with TDM enables calls to flow in and out of the PSTN – the SBC will act as a pure gateway converting SIP to ISDN.

PROTECT – With Sangoma’s Hybrid SBC products you can offer an all-in-one solution. Incorporating the features and security benefits of an SBC combined with a gateway, these devices are a great way to future proof systems. To convert a Sangoma SBC into a hybrid solution, you will need to install a Sangoma TDM card (i.e. a101, a102, a104) into an enterprise-grade SBC appliance.

PROVIDE flexibility as a business throughout from remote working to changing your strategy on communications.

Customers who decide to use SIP Trunking

 Hybrid SBCs offer a cost advantage and provide more flexibility. In this instance, the SBC makes routing decisions based on cost, configuration or availability.

Customers looking to accommodate hybrid workers

 Support for remote workers and local IP phones can all be hosted from a Sangoma SBC.

How to Make Yours and Your Customers Network Secure for Remote Working

It’s predicted that home working will more than double compared to pre-pandemic levels when restrictions ease. With that in mind, there couldn’t be a better time to ensure yours and your partners’ networks are secure and prepared for remote workers.

How to Make Your Network Secure for Remote Working

Sangoma’s SBC range are the perfect solution to securing VoIP networks not just for yourself, but for your customers too. Remote worker soft phone applications and the rise of UC solutions mean a greater variety of media need to securely use the network which can sometimes expose unfamiliar or unknown vulnerabilities. SBCs provide a number of services to make VoIP/UC systems more secure and better able to integrate SIP-based equipment from a variety of vendors. What’s more with features such as SIP over TLS and SRTP you can enable end-to-end encryption for voice traffic and provide a solution for SIP ALG problems on most modern routers.

Find out more about the features & benefits of Sangoma SBCs

When it comes to remote workers, you’ll want to be sure that while allowing remote access to the PBX and UC applications, you are not effectively opening the door for toll-fraud and other attacks by simply opening ports in the data firewall. Sitting on the edge of a VoIP network, an SBC will only allow authorised endpoints used by remote workers to access the network.

Contact our expert team today to discuss how you can increase your profit opportunities by providing an improved service to your customers post-lockdown. Simply call 01484 840048 or email contact@provu.co.uk.
