Description


The nCite� SE and nCite� DE high performance Session Controllers were designed and tested in partnership with the world's leading IP Communications carriers and independent third party labs to ensure the product meets or exceeds the functional and operational requirements of service providers worldwide.

These session border controllers resolve the peering, latency, quality of service, capacity and control issues preventing widespread commercial deployment of VoIP. The session border controller is a transparent addition to existing VoIP networks that enables carriers and service providers to fully realize PSTN parity - resulting in a reduction of costs and increased revenue through the interconnection of VoIP islands. Several current market drivers point to the increasing demand for IP services that can only become a reality with native IP interconnection. VoIP networks are typically built as "island networks" due to complexities associated with IP interconnection or peering (such as address overlap and security firewalls). The lack of scalability in current VoIP deployments is compounded by the lack of performance parity with the PSTN.Many indicators include: the tremendous growth of IP PBXs and the adoption of VoIP and SIP-based products. As the nCite session controllers enter the market, they will support three main applications areas for wireline and wireless networks:

Residential
Carrier to Carrier Peering
Enterprise

 

Security

Hardware based DoS protection- Deep packet classification
Performs intrusion prevention by detecting and blocking overflow buffer attacks. CERT Advisory CA-2003-06 test suite for SIP signaling vulnerabilities
 
Rogue RTP Detection
Ease of Management

Fully redundant solution purpose-built for carrier market
Reduces VoIP network complexity with a single, compact system that replaces multiple point solutions
Carrier-Class Redundancy/Reliability
 
Media Anchoring

Media anchoring configurable on a virtual proxy basis
Modify signaling traffic to accommodate NAT/NAPT

 
Session Admission Control Solution

Provide a virtual line count for a customer
Bandwidth management and policing
Apply QoS metrics to calls that exceed the virtual line count

 
Session Detail Record Solution

Provide start/stop records for both signaling and bearer traffic
Provide key performance indicators of voice bearer traffic (latency, jitter, loss)

Interconnection

Carrier to Carrier, Enterprise to Carrier, Residential to Carrier
nCite is the most cost effective VoIP interconnection, reducing the need for PRIs

The result is the market leader in carrier-class performance. Netrake manages from 1,000 to 42,000 simultaneous calls (dependent on codec), with full redundancy, (in stateless proxy mode or up to 120 calls per second in stateful proxy mode). In addition the Element Management System (EMS) leads the market in operational control, provisioning and management.

The nCite Session Controllers Deliver:

Unmatched Scalability - nCite is designed to more than satisfy the requirements generated by any economic model, from small to very large. nCite call capacity ranges from 1,000 simultaneous sessions up to 42,000 simultaneous sessions, all in a single compact system.
Unequaled Support - nCite reduces infrastructure requirements by replacing multiple point solutions with a single, integrated (signaling and media) solution and reduces VoIP network complexities
 
Reduces operations costs
Leverages existing investments in networks and back office systems
 
High Availability and Reliability - Fully redundant hardware and software architecture for system processor, switching fabric and I/O modules ensures no loss of calls and highest quality of reliability.
Ease of Management - Deployment of nCite Session Controllers does not require modifications and/or special configurations to existing network infrastructure including; routers, gateways, gatekeeper capabilities, or security systems.
