You really can't count OpenSIPS as an SBC without heavy modifications. But as a SIP session router (remember it started as SER, SIP Express Router), BroadWorks works just fine front-ended by a properly configured SER/OpenSIP deployment. In a past life I built such a solution myself that is still in place over 5 years later at a former employer. BroadWorks is one of the best wholesale VOIP platforms (application servers) out there. Nothing comes close to it in terms of partitioning different customers, scalability, and ease of use for the provisioning group. The stability is great when built out right, and their support is very good as well (should be for the $$). The biggest issue you will run into is that BroadSoft knows what they have and their pricing (initial, licensing, and support) clearly show it. Many people I have spoken with in the industry REALLY dislike their corporate "attitude" and policies. Most of the functionality from M6 is there in one form or another, and they are actively working on a SCCP mediation server (it's out but not very production ready from what I've heard) to ease the M6 migrations. If you are looking to make that move you should probably talk to BroadSoft directly about the migration path. -Scott -----Original Message----- From: voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org [mailto:voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org] On Behalf Of Matthew S. Crocker Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 7:17 PM To: voiceops at voiceops.org Subject: [VoiceOps] Looking for opinions of BroadWorks. Howdie, I'm the lucky (!!?) owner of a Vocaldata/Tekelec/GENBAND/Broadsoft M6 soft switch. I'm looking at replacing it with a Broadsoft Broadworks switch. Anyone out there familiar with both switches? Any opinions of the stability/feature set of Broadworks would be welcome! If you have Broadworks, which SBC are you using? Anyone using OpenSIPS to front end BWorks? Send me on or off-list responses, your preference. Thanks -Matt -- Matthew S. Crocker President Crocker Communications, Inc.
