Deploying IP-based real-time communication services like SIP Trunking, Voice over IP (VoIP) and Unified Communications (UC) is more than an IT decision; it’s a business decision. Today’s enterprises require secure, high-quality voice and video service, flexible delivery of multimedia applications to its customers and employees, and efficiency to control costs and complexity. This is exactly what a Session Border Controller (SBC) delivers.
Figure 1 below shows a high-level view of an SBC that provides per-session security and interoperability, so that real-time communications flow smoothly and work properly between networks and the people who use them.

Traditionally, businesses that wanted to take advantage of an SBC’s value would have to make an investment decision to purchase an SBC. This would typically be part of a capital budget request, require money to be allocated and approved, and then make the actual purchase during a new budget expenditure cycle. Along with this, the enterprise would have to allocate people and resources to test, implement and maintain their SBC.
For customers seeking to realize the full potential of their network communications there is a better way to get the value of an SBC, and that is through ULAP Virtual Network Services – SBCaaS with ULAP.
By leveraging our investment in virtualization and cloud infrastructure, ULAP is able to deliver a fully orchestrated, fully managed, virtual Session Border Controller with ULAP technology. Customers are able to deploy a cloud-native SBC as a virtual network function (VNF) and maintain physical SBCs.
