Enterprise and contact center
demonstrations
Enterprise SIP trunking with Avaya Aura
Acme Packet and Avaya combine to show SIP trunking applications between
enterprises and service providers as well as between enterprise
locations. Acme Packet's Net-Net SBC ensures security and maximum
service reach while assuring SLAs and regulatory compliance in the
delivery of unified communications from Avaya's Aura System platform.
Managed enterprise SBC services
Acme Packet will demonstrate the fault, configuration, accounting,
performance and security (FCAPS) and related management capabilities of
Net-Net OS delivered in the context of a managed enterprise SBC service.
Acme Packet's managed enterprise SBC solution extends the SIP trunking
service demarcation point all the way to the enterprise premise as part
of a SIP trunking service.
Secure teleworker access to SIP voice and unified communications
The Acme Packet Net-Net SBC integrated with Avaya Aura will enable
Avaya SIP endpoints using SIP/TLS and SRTP to establish, maintain and
terminate sessions securely via the Internet to enterprise telephony and
UC infrastructure. Acme Packet SBCs control the Internet border point
for enterprises or contact centers, delivering all necessary security,
service reach and SLA assurance functions to cost-effectively implement
secure, high-quality IP-based telephony and UC solutions for remote
employees.
Hosted enterprise E9-1-1 emergency services
The demonstration depicts an emergency call, routed through the Net-Net
SBC and delivered to Red Sky's E9-1-1 network services solution deployed
at a simulated public service access point (PSAP). The SBC adds denial
of service/distributed denial of service (DoS/DDoS) protection and
layer-5 topology hiding at the hosted services border, as well as backup
for standard E9-1-1 routing by providing an alternate route to the PSAP
when the primary route becomes unavailable.
Interactive SIP trunking return-on-investment (ROI) kiosk
Acme Packet has designed a Return on Investment (ROI) tool that
illustrates the cost savings potential of moving to SIP trunking.
