Sangoma SBCs Advantages for Hosted Providers

Securing voice traffic in a hosted telephony environment is a core requirement for any business to survive. Consequently it’s important that IP communication is managed and secured properly. Many hosted telephony providers from around the world deal with 100’s of products from different manufacturers, however without interop testing and secure networks, device compatibility can be hard to assess. With Sangoma’s E-SBCs, device interoperability can be simplified as it offers a secure enhancement to hosted VoIP deployments, acting as a medium between devices.

Here’s some of the key features of Sangoma’s SBCs:

  • Encrypt SIP signalling and audio media
  • Remote site VoIP demarcation point
  • Reduce firewall and NAT issues
  • Secondary Registration for Failover to Local Gateway Access
  • Ensure SLA compliance

offerings, without compromising security, service quality, reliability and/or availability.

Sangoma offer a range of Enterprise SBCs with support for 5 up to 250 sessions and their carrier
models can handle up to total of 4000 sessions.

Seamless Paging Integration between Algo and Polycom

We launched the Algo 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker back in January which joined our expanding range of Algo paging and alerting devices. This SIP ceiling speaker can integrate natively with Polycom™ Group Page for overhead announcements.

The 8188 provides additional coverage in common areas or where sound reinforcement is needed, like classrooms, lobbies or hallways. The 8188 can also be configured to join Polycom paging groups or zones.

Polycom Group Page has no dependency on a SIP server and therefore the 8188 also integrates seamlessly with Skype™ for Business/Lync™.

 

SIP Initiated Group Paging

Algo paging endpoints have multicast broadcast capability. While paging or alerting, they can simultaneously multicast over the network.
