Carrier SBCs & Edge Voice Security | AVM Networks Limited

Q: Is the SBC deployed as hardware or a virtual appliance?

We provide both dedicated hardware appliances (utilizing DSP arrays for heavy transcoding) and virtualized SBC (vSBC) images optimized for hypervisor and cloud execution.

Q: What is topology hiding in a Session Border Controller?

Topology hiding strips internal IP addresses, Via headers, and private routing paths from outgoing SIP messages, presenting a single secured public IP address to interconnect peers.

Q: How does Call Admission Control (CAC) protect core softswitches?

CAC dynamically rate-limits incoming SIP INVITE requests based on CPS (Calls Per Second) and active concurrent channel thresholds, shedding excess traffic before core switches overload.

Q: Which voice codecs can be transcoded in real time?

Our SBC hardware DSPs execute real-time low-latency transcoding across G.711 (µ-law/a-law), G.729a/b, G.722 HD Audio, Opus, and AMR-WB codecs.

AVM Networks Carrier Engineering Team

Session Border Controller (SBC)

Perimeter Security and Media Transcoding for Voice Networks

Enterprise and carrier-class Session Border Controllers designed to secure the IP perimeter. Provides cryptographic media protection, SIP normalization, topology hiding, and hardware-accelerated media transcoding at the network edge.

Architecture & Carrier SLA Summary

Session Border Controller (SBC) is provisioned across AVM Networks Limited international carrier network (AS210257). Technical architecture delivers 99.999% high availability, direct SIP RFC 3261 peering, SMPP v3.4 multi-bind transceivers, STIR/SHAKEN attestation, and a verified zero False Answer Supervision (FAS) guarantee backed by dynamic Least Cost Routing (LCR) and 24/7/365 NOC engineering operations.

Architectural Capabilities & Features

Topology Hiding & Security

Conceals internal network architecture from external peers, preventing reconnaissance and mitigating SIP-based DoS/DDoS attacks.

Hardware Media Transcoding

DSP-accelerated codec translation (e.g., G.729 to G.711) ensuring interoperability without consuming general compute resources.

SIP Header Normalization

Granular SIP manipulation rules resolving protocol incompatibilities between differing vendor implementations across interconnects.

Call Admission Control (CAC)

Strict enforcement of concurrent session limits and registration rates to protect internal softswitches from traffic inundation.

Technical Specifications

Throughput	High CPS (Calls Per Second) capacity engineered for core infrastructure
Encryption Standard	Hardware-assisted IPsec, TLS, and SRTP offloading
Redundancy	1+1 High Availability with stateful session replication
