Telecom Lead America: EVOX Trading, a telecom service provider across Africa, has selected Sonus SBC 5200 to secure its network border.
The deployment of the SBC 5200 will enable EVOX to increase its service capacity by 40 percent, deliver communication access, voice termination services and provide interconnect capabilities to its carrier partners in Africa.
EVOX says that countries across Africa are seeking more reliable, scalable and higher performing VoIP and SIP services. As a result, EVOX sought a new platform to help them meet this growing requirement.
EVOX selected the SBC 5200 because the solution addressed the next-generation needs of VoIP and SIP communications with security, media switching and transcoding services in a single scalable device.
In addition, the infrastructure will also provide an intelligent SIP interconnection capability between EVOX and their carrier partner networks. The SBC 5200 supports up to 64,000 sessions on a single server and provides advanced routing and integrated transcoding capability.
“We have seen growing demand for next generation VoIP and SIP services in Africa and we chose Sonus to provide us with the secure, reliable, scalable solution that doing business across the continent demands,” said Romain BOULET, sales director, EVOX.
Serge Adam, vice president of EMEA at Sonus, said: “The Sonus SBC portfolio is the fastest growing on the market and serves as a foundation of advanced technology growth as EVOX ignites the burgeoning African market.”
The SBC 5200 has been performance verified by Miercom. As part of the testing, the SBC 5200 successfully registered 256,000 user authenticated IADs in 16 minutes at a rate of 550 registrations per second during a simulated metro area outage and recovery scenario.
