SBC 2000 - Session Border Controller

The Ribbon Session Border Controller 2000 (SBC 2000) is an ideal security and interoperability solution for medium size businesses and large branch offices. The SBC 2000 delivers:

  • VoIP Security (topology hiding, encryption, protection against Denial of Service attacks and more)
  • Interoperability with leading PBXs, cloud UC services, SIP endpoints and SIP trunking providers
  • Certified for Microsoft Teams Direct Routing
  • Local site survivability services
  • Gateway for traditional interfaces including analog devices and PRI
  • Advanced call routing features such as Active Directory/LDAP server routing integration and onboard call forking

The SBC 2000 is the right choice for any organization or site with up to 1000 employees. The SBC 2000 protects SIP trunks and cloud UC services, including Microsoft Teams. Its scalability and support for up to 16 T1/E1 spans make it an ideal solution to support existing call centers or to retain a legacy PBX as part of a long-term migration strategy. Organizations that need to connect traditional analog phones (such as cordless phones, elevator phones, door phones, fax machines, etc.) will appreciate the SBC 2000’s FXS ports. Like every Ribbon SBC, the SBC 2000 has been independently verified to deliver full protection and performance, even during severe security attacks. That performance helps assure those bad actors won’t disrupt your communications when you need them most.

The SBC 2000’s intuitive web interface, including multiple ready-to-use configuration parameters, make it easy for organizations to upgrade to the latest unified communications services, even when they may be retaining an on-site contact center or migrating from a legacy PBX. License-based session and port expansion eliminates the need for a truck-roll and/or an on-site technician.

The Ribbon SBC 2000 is certified for Direct Routing with Microsoft Teams. It also features built-in survivability for Microsoft Skype for Business, Yealink, Poly, Cisco/BroadSoft, and other SIP/TDM/FXx clients, so calls go through even if the Wide Area Network (WAN) goes down.

Microsoft Survivable Branch Appliance Support

Enable Teams users to make and receive calls to/from the public telephone network if Microsoft 365 becomes unreachable. Microsoft’s Survivable Branch Appliance (SBA) capability is available for the SBC 2000 (Server Module required). The SBC 2000 already provides support for resilient WAN connections, adding Microsoft’s SBA services provides the next level of resiliency by assuring that users can still make and receive calls, in the event of a WAN or cloud outage. Microsoft SBA services are tightly integrated into the SBC 2000’s Easy Configuration Wizard, making set-up and administration as simple as point and click. Ribbon eliminates any SBA related command line administration or stand-alone security certificate management. The SBC 2000 also supports traditional analog and digital circuits (POTS, BRI, T1/E1 circuits) for an additional level of redundancy, beyond SIP trunk connectivity.

Hardware, Software or Cloud

Visitors may notice the similarities between the SBC SWe Lite, SBC 1000 and SBC 2000, we hope so. Ribbon uses the same core software for these products so our customers can easily choose the size and deployment model that fits their environment. Each product delivers the same robust security services, ease of deployment and media management capabilities. The SWeLite includes the option to deploy on a virtualized platform or the cloud while the SBC 1000 and SBC 2000 provide options for physical interfaces (FXO/FWs, T1/E1, etc.) for device or PBX/ contact center migrations.
