Alcatel-Lucent, AudioCodes collaborate on SBC solution for mid-sized enterprises

VoIP technology provider AudioCodes (NASDAQ:AUDC) says it's working with Alcatel-Lucent to integrate AudioCodes' Mediant family of Enterprise Session Border Controllers (E-SBCs) with Alcatel-Lucent SIP solutions for enterprises, including OpenTouch Business Edition and the OmniPCX Enterprise Communication Server, pairings that will provide enterprises with the more robust security, session mediation and service level assurance required to connect to SIP service providers and to connect remote users to enterprise SIP applications, while maintaining interoperability and manageability.

"Mid-sized businesses want more innovative multimedia communications for their employees and partners while on-site or off-site," said CMO of Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Nicolas De Kouchkovsky. "Migrating telephony access to SIP will enable them to enjoy cost savings and benefit from new multimedia collaboration services. By providing enhanced security, quality assurance and SIP mediation, Enterprise SBC will accelerate the seamless and secure migration of mid-sized enterprises to SIP Trunking."

The Mediant E-SBCs will be joining the list of existing tested interoperability among AudioCodes products--including the MediaPack 11x and 20x VoIP Gateways and the Mediant 600, 1000, 2000, 3000 and 5000 Media Gateways--and Alcatel-Lucent solutions such as OmniPCX Enterprise, Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Office(TM), as well as the Genesys(TM) SIP Server.
