About OpenTouch Session Border Controller
The OpenTouch Session Border Controller (SBC) by Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise is a highly secure software solution designed to protect SIP trunks and enterprise communications. It serves as the demarcation point between the enterprise and SIP trunking providers, safeguarding against malicious VoIP attacks, SIP denial of service, fraud, and eavesdropping. The OpenTouch SBC offers secure and scalable SIP/media connectivity, including audio transcoding and network address translation (NAT) traversal for audio and video communications. It ensures cost-effective, secure conversations over the internet and with SIP service providers. The SBC features web-based management with built-in configuration templates, allowing settings and protocol adaptations for certified SIP trunking providers to be configured in a few clicks. It provides cost-effective interoperability by offering protocol adaptations for many SIP trunking providers.
