About SBC Software Edition (SBC SWe)
The Ribbon SBC Software Edition (SBC SWe) is a cloud-native, software-based Session Border Controller designed to secure and optimize real-time communications across various deployment environments. It offers the same robust features as Ribbon's hardware-based SBC 5400 and SBC 7000 appliances, including extensive audio codec transcoding, signaling interworking, call admission control, and comprehensive security measures such as encryption and protection against Denial of Service attacks. The SBC SWe can be deployed as a Virtual Machine (VM) on industry-standard servers in data centers, as a Virtual Network Function (VNF) in private clouds using OpenStack, or in public clouds like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This flexibility allows enterprises to scale their communications infrastructure efficiently while maintaining high performance and security standards.
