About Ribbon Edge 8K
A Session Border Controller (SBC) is a network element deployed to protect SIP-based Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) networks. Early deployments of SBCs were focused on the borders between two service provider networks in a peering environment. This role has now expanded to include significant deployments between a service provider's access network and a backbone network to provide service to residential and/or enterprise customers.
Ribbon’s Edge 8000 is the newest, high-performance member of our line of services gateway routers that combines security, routing, switching, and 10 Gbps WAN interfaces with next-generation voice and data services where the combination of broadband connectivity and advanced threat mitigation capabilities are required. By consolidating fast, highly available routing, security, and next-generation SBC capabilities in a single device, enterprises can remove network complexity, protect and prioritize resources, and improve user and application experience while lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO).

The Edge 8000 series is comprised of two models,
- Edge 8100 , – a highly scalable Ethernet SBC/data router.
- Edge 8300 , – a high-capacity mixed SBC/analog/data router.
The 8100/8300 platform is based on the Intel Atom 8-core processor with multiple interfaces. This platform shall meet meets the following high-level requirements:
Functionality
- SBC support with or and without transcoding.
- Gateway support (Edge 8300 only) Support for legacy Analog interfaces (Edge8300 only) - PRI, FXS) – Enables the cost, performance, and availability benefits by collapsing edge routing functionality with legacy termination services in one multiservice box.
- Layer-3 Routing
- and Security.
