SBC 5000 Series Hardware Platforms
Ribbon SBC 5000 series is available in four different platforms. The SBC 5000 series platforms are similar as they use the same types of components, but different models provide different hardware and capacity capabilities. All SBC 5000 hardware platforms support the Ribbon SBC application software.
- SBC 5100 Platform—Small to medium session count deployments. The capacities make this product particularly well suited for medium enterprises and small to medium service providers.
- SBC 5110 Platform—This is a modular form SBC that targets small and medium count deployments. This SBC model allows you to field install digital signal processor (DSP) cards as their network expands.
- SBC 5200 Platform—Medium to large session count deployments. The capacities make this product particularly well suited for large enterprises and medium to large service providers.
- SBC 5210 Platform—This is a modular form SBC that targets medium to large session count deployments. This SBC model allows you to field install digital signal processor (DSP) cards as their network expands.
- SBC 5400 Platform—The SBC 5400 hardware platform comes equipped with four media ports and is available in three models based on the media port configuration. You must purchase the appropriate model based on their interface and capacity requirements. The media ports are enabled on the chassis depending upon the network interface license installed. For SBC 5400 Hardware information, refer to Installing SBC 5000 Series Hardware.
