Hi all, Currently we are running Cisco PGW-based voice network and we are thinking of migarting to another platform. I saw a presentation of Sonus and it looks feature rich patform. I would like some feedback if anyone has experience with Sonus (for both TDM and VoIP.) Has any one used their SBC? any thoughts? thanks Kevork Belian PrimeTel Senior Network Engineer The Maritime Centre, 141 Omonoia Avenue, CY-3506, Limassol, Cyprus e-mail: kevork at francoudi.com www.thunderworx.com<outbind://119/www.thunderworx.com> tel.: (+357) 25867136 fax: (+357) 25568131 ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE AND DISCLAIMER This message contains information, which may be confidential and privileged.

Sonus is top of the line and most of the major IP carriers have migrated to Sonus from whatever else they used to run. Like many of the best in breed, they aren't cheap (hardware or support), but its reliable and very scalable. I haven't worked with the NBS SBC but it's fairly widely deployed now as well. If they are a little too high end for you, I'd recommend looking at Metaswitch, but of course the best platform will depend on what you need. -Scott From: voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org [mailto:voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org] On Behalf Of Kevork Belian Sent: Friday, July 01, 2011 5:52 AM To: 'voiceops at voiceops.org' Subject: [VoiceOps] I need feedback about Sonus Hi all, Currently we are running Cisco PGW-based voice network and we are thinking of migarting to another platform.

I think it really depends on whether you're looking for a multi-tenant PBX / Class 5 subscriber services box +/- with feature server, or more of a Class 4 style tandem router. If your primary application is core infrastructural routing, I would say neither the Metaswitch nor Sonus are particularly economical choices. -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems LLC 260 Peachtree Street NW Suite 2200 Atlanta, GA 30303 Tel: +1-678-954-0670 Fax: +1-404-961-1892 Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/
