Intelligent Edge™ – Enterprise Session Border Controllers

EdgeMarc 6000


Overview

Deploying voice communications over the Internet has the potential to create quality and security issues if providers don’t take proactive measures to prevent issues. Ribbon’s Intelligent Edge™ solutions are deployed at the edge of a customer’s network to give communication service providers a better way to monitor, manage and secure voice traffic as it enters and exits a customer’s site.

EdgeMarc elements can operate independently or be centrally managed with the EdgeView Service Control Center. By centrally managing hundreds or thousands of EdgeMarc elements, EdgeView gives providers a local view of issues as well as a holistic view of their network. EdgeView also enables

  • Zero touch provisioning for consistent, low touch, low cost deployments
  • Centralized reporting and management tools to reduce expensive truck rolls and many of the customer satisfaction issues that drive churn
The Ribbon EdgeMarc 6000 is specifically designed for enabling modern cloud-based services, including Microsoft Teams and Zoom Phone. In addition to robust security, it includes options for:

  • T1/E1 gateway ports to retain or migrate legacy PBXs or contact centers
  • FXS ports for analog devices (fax, door phones, paging system, etc.)
  • FXO ports for analog lines (local PSTN access, emergency calling, paging systems, etc.)

Staying Connected – Service Assurance

The EdgeMarc 6000 can be deployed with a built-in 4G
LTE radio to offer multiple paths for WAN connectivity. As
organizations become more dependent on cloud services,
connectivity becomes more critical. Providers can differentiate
their offer from the competition and raise ARPU by bundling
wireless services.

Staying Ahead

The EdgeMarc 6000 is also designed for what comes next. It easily supports traditional SIP Trunking deployments to IP- PBXs and contact centers as well as the most popular cloud communications services. EdgeMarc solutions are widely deployed by service providers in concert with Cisco BroadSoft and Metaswitch UCaaS solutions. They are also fully certified for Microsoft Teams Phone and Zoom Phone.
