Meeting the Demand for Unified Communications
The shift to hybrid work amplified the demand for robust unified communications services. At the same time many operations like retail, manufacturing, healthcare and education still need more traditional business phone services. The Ribbon Application Server can deliver both rich unified communications and/or robust traditional office phone system features.
The AS is widely deployed with SIP phones from industry leaders like Poly, Cisco, Yealink and dozens of other brands. It also interoperates with industry standard door phones, emergency phones, and analog devices. It works in concert with Ribbon’s G5 Gateway for high density analog as well as Ribbon’s Edge 8000 and EdgeMarc portfolio. It also works with almost any industry standard SIP gateway or ATA.
Service Anywhere Resilient Architecture
The Application Server has a rich heritage with a thoroughly modern architecture. The AS offers multi-node geographic redundancy. The innovative design allows a user to dynamically register to a local AS in another region, retaining all of their profile information. We call this capability Service Anywhere as a user can roam to another region and never lose services. It’s an ideal solution to protect against a natural disaster or act of god that disables or destroys an Application Server instance. Users can register to another instance in minutes, without reconfiguring the network.
Residential Services for Broadband
As more service providers invest in fiber and migrate to all broadband environments the need to deliver cost effective IP-based based residential services has never been greater. The Ribbon AS is uniquely positioned to meet these needs.
Unlike many competitive offerings that can only operate in the public cloud or exclusively require subscription-based licensing, the AS offers multiple deployment and business models. In addition, it has two decades of deployment history, meaning it offers a rich set of services that meet a variety of regulatory requirements
The Ribbon AS has proven its flexibility, being deployed in small rural providers and Tier 1 service providers in a variety of configurations.
Seamless Connectivity Integration and Interoperability
Ribbon excels in providing seamless connectivity with leading IP PBXs, IP phone manufacturers, across all broadband access types and IP protocols. This commitment highlights Ribbon's vision of integrating diverse communication environments into a universally accessible network, thereby enabling enhanced Unified Communication solutions that service providers can depend upon.
