FreeSBC from TelcoBridges

Posted by AlanPercy , on May 24, 2018

It’s well understood that Session Border Controllers play an important roll in both service provider and enterprise networks. From security and protection against DDOS attacks, protocol interoperability and call routing, SBCs are the “fixers” of voice networks. New innovative service providers and hosted applications depend on their connectivity to SIP carriers and SIP Trunks.

FreeSBC, a new entry to the SBC market comes from TelcoBridges, a long-time provider of high-density and reliable media gateways, used in service provider networks around the world. Founded in 2002, TelcoBridges is not new to telecom and to SIP. Their gateways are installed in over 100 countries around the world.

What makes FreeSBC unique is the business model. Recognizing that many new disruptive services and applications often start on a shoe-string budget, FreeSBC can be downloaded and used at no-cost. Support services, enhanced features and professional services come at an extra cost of $1/session/year. Offered as a subscription model, customer pay for the sessions they need on an annual basis.
