Application Server for Service Providers

Telephony Application Server Delivers Robust Residential and Business Services


The Ribbon Application Server (AS) is a unified communications platform that delivers voice and multimedia services across IP-based networks. Its Service Anywhere architecture offers service providers a highly scalable and geographically resilient platform for both residential (VoIP) and unified communications (UC) services. The AS is widely deployed globally, with over 30 million seats sold. Given its prolific deployment, it’s no surprise that it has been tested with thousands of industry-standard SIP devices and broadband termination devices.

 

Ribbon AS can be deployed in a central office, private data center or public cloud. It’s a true carrier-class application server. It can also be deployed in concert with Ribbon’s C20 softswitch for a complete network transformation solution.

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.
