FRAFOS ABC SBC Platform

Nokia's Session Border Controller (SBC) secures signaling and control media crossing the edges of the IMS network. It sits at the edge of access networks to secure any type of IP access and deliver all IMS services. It also sits on the edge of peering networks to support roaming, IMS interconnection, or corporate SIP trunking scenarios. The SBC provides functions such as encryption/decryption of bearer traffic, firewall and topology hiding for security, media handling and transcoding, SIP interworking, and NAT traversal. It can be deployed as a standalone SBC or as part of Nokia’s VoLTE/VoWiFi solution. For VoIP services provided to residential and enterprise customers, the SBC offers DoS/DDoS protection, topology hiding of the network from the access, NAT traversal, and codec support for G.729, G.722, and T.38 Fax. In a VoLTE core network, it controls access and allows mobility, providing an EVS codec and supporting eSRVCC, VoWiFi, NPLI, S8HR roaming, and more.

The Secunet SBC, developed in cooperation with Secunet, is designed to fulfill the needs of institutions requiring the highest security levels. It combines FRAFOS technology with the high-performance secunetWall firewall, acting as a secure platform to provide complete protection and filtering of data streams at the network, transport, voice, and application levels. Certified by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) with certification ID BSI-DSZ-CC-1089, it meets the highest attack strength CC EAL 4+. Secunet SBC's outstanding integration capability is certified by telephone system manufacturer Mitel, earning the Mitel compatible seal and establishing Secunet as a Mitel Developer Partner. Key advantages include secure VoIP telephony between internal and external networks, future-proof audio and video gateway capabilities, simple GUI-guided administration, remote update and configuration, high availability with failover, georedundancy across multiple sites, and more.
