Acme Packet launches new SBC for service providers and enterprises

Acme Packet just announced their newest session border control product--the Net-Net 3820. The Net-Net 3820 is targeted at small to mid-sized IP communications service providers as well as mission-critical enterprise and contact center applications.

Building on the capabilities of the original Net-Net 3800 platform, the Net-Net 3820 supports single or dual hot-swappable AC or DC power supplies while doubling the session capacity of the Net-Net 3800 from 4,000 to 8,000 sessions. It can be configured as a Net-Net Session Director, a decomposed Net-Net Signaling Firewall or a session routing proxy.

"Tier 2 and tier 3 service providers require cost-effective, carrier-grade solutions for deploying next-generation services. At the same time, today's demanding enterprise VoIP, unified communications and IP video conferencing applications require high-availability platforms to ensure business continuity," said Seamus Hourihan, executive vice president of marketing and product management for Acme Packet in the release. "The Net-Net 3820 offers service providers, enterprises and contact centers a highly flexible, NEBS-compliant SBC platform for trusted, first-class interactive communications across IP network borders."

Acme Packet recently hit a benchmark of shipping its 10,000th SBC unit and signing on its 1,000th customer. In a release, the company detailed that it has about 200 enterprise customers and about 800 service providers deploying its devices.
