Overview

The rapid adoption of IP for many voice and multimedia

communications needs of enterprises, consumers, and service
providers has resulted in an ever-broadening array of IP networks,
user devices and IP endpoints. Customers increasingly expect
secure, transparent access and utilization of these advanced
networks, bringing the edges of networks into sharp focus. At the
network edge, issues like security, interoperability, protocols, vendor
implementations, system complexity, and service assurance are
arising for network operators, and in turn they are demanding carrier
grade, intelligent session border controllers (SBCs) and border
gateways to ensure a seamless communications experience.
For over a decade, GENBAND has been an acknowledged
industry innovator in session border control, developing Smart Edge
products to resolve the growing challenges of IP. GENBANDs Q10
SBC is a market-leading, Intelligent Session Border Controller for
fxed, mobile, cable, and Over-the-Top operators and enterprises.
Deployed worldwide and operating in some of the worlds largest
IP networks, the Q10 SBC provides industry-leading scale, security,
session management, policy control, and deployment fexibility
to enable seamless SIP Trunking, IP eXchange (IPX), Peering,
Intra-Network Interconnect, Multimedia Communications, VoLTE, and
RCS-e solutions in IMS LiTE and IMS networks.
QUANTiX SBC - The Intelligent SBC
The QUANTiX Q10 SBC creates a Smart Edge for operators.
Its smart session management technology reduces operational
complexity and simplifes the network edge by securely managing,
routing, and controlling real-time voice and multimedia sessions,
while providing intelligent insight into network performance. With
the Q10 SBC, operators gain predictability and assurance to the
delivery of secure rich multimedia services. Through its adaptive
security, insightful policy enforcement, fexible interworking and
normalization, and advanced session routing capabilities, the Q10
SBC adds an unparalleled layer of intelligence in managing SIP and
other IP-based voice and multimedia sessions.

Smart Management
Accompanying the QUANTiX Q10 SBC is the market leading
GENView RSM, a smart management solution that simplifes day-to-day
operations. RSM monitors, analyzes, reports, and enforces quality and
performance at the network borders, providing visibility into edge traffc
along with the ability to dynamically modify call-routing behavior based
on a combination of business policies, network QoS, and subscriber
usage patterns. RSM also provides a web-based provisioning interface
with simple drop down menus and confguration templates for vendor-
specifc profles, enabling faster time-to-market for services.
Delivering Holistic Visibility and Dynamic Adaptation
Quality/QoS Monitoring: providing visibility into how the
network is delivering service
Comprehensive Reporting: exposing historic and
real-time network performance
Business Reporting: providing visibility into route proftability
Adaptive Call Routing: re-shaping routing policies to
ensure network quality targets are met
Advanced Call Diagnostics: enabling views into sessions
that may straddle multiple SBCs
Multi-dimension Adaptability
Delivered on a common off the shelf platform (COTS), the QUANTiX
Q10 SBC provides substantial and measurable deployment benefts,
providing a price/performance ratio that leads the industry. Combining
the benefts of COTS hardware, a software-centric architecture, and
deployment fexibility, the QUANTiX Q10 SBC addresses a wide-range
of performance needs while ensuring lowest TCO. GENBANDs SBC
is available as a best-of-breed carrier-grade, stand-alone SBC on a
family of rack mount servers or as part of the integrated, award-winning
ATCA-based GENBAND IP Unifed Services (GENiUS) Platform. The
SBC leverages common software across all versions of target hardware
options, offering deployment fexibility and the ability to seamlessly
grow networks as needed.

QUANTiX Q10
The Q10 is a 1RU server that is ideal for environments such as
Enterprises, small or medium service providers, or large carriers looking
for distributed solutions where coverage is more important than scale. It
is optimally sized to support up to 6000 concurrent VoIP sessions.
