Miercom Awards Performance Verified Certification to the Dialogic BorderNet
4000 Session Border Controller

Dialogic addresses the complexity of interconnecting networks and delivering seamless
next generation IP based multimedia services
Milpitas, CA – April 10, 2012 – Dialogic Inc. (NASDAQ: DLGC), a leading provider of
communications technologies that enhance the end-to-end mobile experience, announced
today that Miercom, a leading independent test lab, has awarded the Dialogic®
BorderNet™ 4000 Session Border Controller (SBC) its Performance Verified designation
for its overall performance, scalability and resiliency. The BorderNet 4000 SBC, the
newest addition to the Dialogic BorderNet family of SBC solutions, is unique in its
ability to support 600 Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) sessions per second and scale up
to 32,000 simultaneous sessions in a 1 rack unit (RU) appliance. The BorderNet 4000
SBC was able to successfully maintain functionality while withstanding various
malicious attacks and extreme load conditions during the Miercom evaluation with no
dropped calls and little impact on system resources. The full Miercom test report can be
found at www.miercom.com/dialogic.
Service providers are faced with real-world challenges as they transform their networks
and services to all-IP and enable them to deliver innovative multimedia services to their
customers. These new services are requiring the use of multiple networks to provide an
end-to-end service that connects consumers and content. The BorderNet 4000 SBC
delivers an important set of peering features that allow service providers to securely and
seamlessly connect to their peering partners and wholesale customers.
“The demand for network-to-network IP interconnection is expanding,” said Diane
Myers, Directing Analyst for VoIP and IMS at Infonetics. “Session border controllers are
an integral component for service providers as they retool their existing voice networks in
order to support next gen services and Voice over LTE (VoLTE). The BorderNet 4000
SBC fits in well with this service provider strategy by focusing on security, scalability,
signaling interworking, as well as ease-of-use to help this transition.”
The BorderNet 4000 SBC includes four 1+1 protected 1GigE interfaces, redundant hot
swappable power supplies and hard drives, and supports a hitless, high availability
configuration option to provide carrier-grade five 9’s (99.999%) performance. As part of
the base configuration, Dialogic has also added an advanced web-based user interface
and management dashboard along with streamlined configuration and provisioning tools
that enable fast set up of either SIP or H.323 based peering interconnects. An intuitive
menu driven SIP header manipulation tool allows service providers to easily connect
diverse SIP-based networks with different signaling characteristics in a seamless manner
and facilitate the delivery of end-to-end IP voice services across different service
provider domains.
The BorderNet 4000 SBC has advanced security features that include customizable
signaling and media topology hiding, protection against DoS attacks, real-time inspection
of message syntax and semantics, multi-level traffic management, and adaptive overload
controls. The Miercom award validates the performance of the capabilities Dialogic has
engineered into the solution. “The Dialogic BorderNet 4000 delivered impressive
performance,” said Robert Smithers, CEO of Miercom, “and it proved impervious to
attempts to compromise its performance with attack traffic.”
The BorderNet 4000 SBC is part of the BorderNet portfolio of session border controller
solutions that include the BorderNet 3000 SBC for peering and access applications; the
BorderNet 2020 SBC for valued added services, SIP trunking delivery and access
applications; and the BorderNet 500 Enterprise SBC for SIP trunking and customer
premise security and unified communications applications. “The BorderNet 4000 SBC is
a great addition to the BorderNet portfolio of SBC solutions,” said Harold Klett, VP and
GM of the Service Provider Infrastructure at Dialogic, “The BorderNet 4000 SBC
incorporates innovative patent pending technology and was designed to align with next
gen, 3G and 4G requirements making it a future proof solution well suited for both fixed
and mobile service provider applications.”
The BorderNet 4000 SBC is available now and shipping in both standard and high
availability configurations. Learn more at http://www.dialogic.com/Products/sessionborder-
