With an integrated enterprise SBC (Session Border Controller), the Sonus SBC 2000 offers to branch Lync
users optimized SIP Trunking services for ITSP (Internet Telephony Service Provider) connectivity.
• Complete enterprise/ ITSP demarcation point
services, such as network topology hiding,
transcoding, IP transport conversion (TCP UDP),
and signaling/media encryption (TCPTLS/RTP
SRTP)
• Multi-ITSP registration, with re-routing on excess
cost or loss of service
• Built-in NAT1 (Network Address Translation),
prevention of DDOS and DOS (Denial of Service)
attacks, and CAC (Call Admission Control) to
prevent unauthorized access and to maintain
secure communications.

Furthermore, future enhanced enterprise Sonus SBC security and interoperability functions may be applied
as a simple software upgrade.
Highly Flexible Low to Mid-Range TDM and Lync Deployment
The Sonus Unified Exchange 2000 Series (SBC 2000) is a modular multi-function, single box appliance that
delivers cost savings, reduces management complexity, and increases reliability for branch office networking
and communications needs. The core features include Layer 2 and Layer 3 based routing protocols, GigE
switching, T1/E1, WAN and LAN ports, Firewall with traffic inspection, Session Border Controller (SBC),
media processing through advanced high-density Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), PSTN gateway, and an
