SD-WAN Capabilities that Prioritize Your Teams Traffic to Enrich the User Experience

It’s important that your Microsoft Teams users have a good first impression of the calling features. Ribbon’s Intelligent Edge helps ensure a consistently high quality of service. Voice and video traffic fighting for the same network bandwidth as other applications can produce access congestion; degrading user experience for Teams users making phone calls and sharing in a web conference. The SD-WAN capabilities of the Intelligent Edge prioritize your Teams traffic to enrich the user experience.

The cloud-based EdgeView Service Control Center works with the EdgeMarc devices on the customer premises to monitor and manage the network traffic. You can be notified of service degradation and take steps to maintain quality. Teams traffic can be identified and prioritized and mean opinion scores (MOS) measured throughout calls to help pinpoint network issues.

Ribbon EdgeMarc Devices

Ribbon EdgeMarc devices can automatically failover to an alternate WAN or LTE connection when the primary is lost or degraded.  You can choose which business critical applications, such as Teams, will fail over to the resilient link.  This is particularly important where your redundant link may not have the same capacity as your primary, or you may be paying per Mb of data.

Deploying EdgeMarc Devices

Deploying EdgeMarc devices to branch offices is simplified through zero touch provisioning.  You can test different configurations to see which one works best in your environment.   A standardized optimal configuration can be rolled out to all locations to increase reliability and simplify management. 

Very little expertise is needed to put an EdgeMarc device into production.  When an EdgeMarc device is connected to the internet, it finds its EdgeView Service Control Center and downloads the predetermined configuration.
