In the rapidly evolving telecommunications landscape, service providers face the constant challenge of delivering reliable and efficient voice connectivity solutions to their customers. A critical component of this infrastructure is the Session Border Controller (SBC), which plays a pivotal role in managing and securing voice traffic. Netaxis, a leader in the industry, has developed a comprehensive solution that sets it apart from the competition – the Netaxis Service Routing Engine (SRE) and Netaxis Session Border Controller as a Service (SBCaaS). Netaxis SRE has been implemented on the SBC infrastructure of all major players.
Why should every voice telecom expert have an in depth look at these solutions? They can be offered standalone integrated in existing networks or combined.
Unparalleled flexibility and compliance
One of the key advantages of the Netaxis SRE and SBCaaS solutions are its unmatched flexibility and integration capabilities. SBCaaS as well as other SBC platforms are uniquely integrated with Netaxis’ Service Routing Engine, a leading service routing platform implemented by many prominent service providers. This integration enables complex routing scenarios that are not possible with standard SBC solutions, providing service providers with unprecedented control over call routing and handling.
Furthermore, Netaxis SBCaaS and SRE are designed to ensure compliance with the latest European Commission regulations, such as the CLI spoofing regulations (ECC20223/23). This allows service providers to meet current and future regulatory requirements seamlessly, avoiding customer dissatisfaction and potential legal and financial penalties.
Compelling arguments: Improved operational efficiency and cost savings
Beyond the soft benefits, Netaxis SRE and SBCaaS also deliver tangible operational and financial advantages for service providers. By leveraging the managed services offered by Netaxis, service providers can offload the complexity of SBC management and operation, allowing them to focus on their core business activities. This results in significant cost savings, as service providers no longer need to invest in the infrastructure and personnel required to maintain traditional SBC solutions.
Reduced operational costs
By leveraging the managed services offered by Netaxis SRE, service providers can offload the complexity of SBC management and operation, allowing them to focus on their core business activities. This results in significant cost savings, as service providers no longer need to invest in the infrastructure and personnel required to maintain traditional SBC solutions.
According to our experience, service providers can save up to 30% on SBC management and maintenance by using the SRE.
Faster service deployment
The SRE’s intuitive “drag and drop” service logic builder enables service providers to design and launch new services faster and more efficiently.
This accelerated implementation cycle translates to quicker time-to-market and reduced development costs.
Simplified operations and reduced complexity
Netaxis SRE centralised control, simplifies processes, and cuts operational costs by minimising complexity. The chances of human errors are also significantly reduced, resulting in improved service quality and lower troubleshooting expenses.
Scalable and resilient infrastructure
Designed with scalability in mind, the SRE can manage thousands of simultaneous sessions or calls. This ensures that service providers can accommodate growth and changing business needs without requiring major infrastructure investments, optimising their long-term costs.
Lower egress costs
Netaxis was aware that egress costs—charged by cloud providers for any outgoing traffic passing the defined threshold—could constitute a “kill-switch” for its SaaS offering. By deploying the SRE on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Netaxis is able to take advantage of OCI’s low egress costs to support its business model and offer competitive prices to customers.
Scalable pricing
SBCaaS & SRE are designed to be scalable, allowing it to handle up to thousands of sessions or calls in parallel. This scalability helps service providers accommodate growth without requiring major infrastructure investments.
According to a case study, one large multinational financial institution that implemented Netaxis SRE and SBC experienced a significant improvement in their voice communication routing efficiency. The solutions ensured that voice traffic was routed to the appropriate UC platform, in that case Microsoft Teams, with reduced latency and enhanced security. This transformation not only streamlined the organization’s communication infrastructure but also contributed to improved operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Benefits
The benefits of Netaxis SRE and SBCaaS can be further quantified:
- Reduced operational costs: Service providers can save up to 30% on SBC management and maintenance by leveraging the Netaxis managed services.
- Improved regulatory compliance: Netaxis SBCaaS&SRE ensures compliance with the latest ECC recommendations, protecting service providers from potential legal and financial penalties.
- Enhanced voice quality: Netaxis SBCaaS delivers a 99.999% uptime guarantee, ensuring superior voice quality even under varying network conditions.
In conclusion, Netaxis SRE and SBCaaS represent a significant advancement in voice connectivity solutions, offering service providers a powerful, flexible, and compliant tool for managing their voice infrastructure. By leveraging Netaxis’ extensive experience and innovative technology, service providers can unburden themselves from the complexities of SBC management and focus on delivering high-quality services to their customers.
