A Next Generation Software-based SBC designed for Wireless

RICHARDSON, Texas - Monday, December 2nd 2013 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE) Mavenir Systems (NYSE: MVNR), today announced the general availability of its Session Border Controller (SBC). Mavenir’s next generation SBC is specifically designed for wireless applications and addresses the demands for mobility, scalability and quality of service as required by Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and Rich Communication Services (RCS) services.

Mavenir’s SBC provides the full suite of standards-defined wireless functions needed to launch VoLTE and RCS services, which mobile operators globally plan to commercially launch starting in early 2014.

“We believe that as VoLTE and RCS services are launched and carriers start peering at the IP layer, the demand will increase and traffic will grow,” said Pardeep Kohli, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mavenir Systems. “Our next generation SBC is built for wireless services and mobility, and is basically redefining Border Control.”

Conventional SBCs, based on purpose built hardware and designed for Voice over IP (VoIP) in Enterprise and Fixed networks, are not suited for the varied traffic models that characterize these new IP-based wireless services.

Mavenir’s SBC is a software-based, carrier grade solution that can be deployed on cloud-based infrastructures using Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Network (SDN) technologies, and its architecture provides the flexibility needed to adapt to the varied traffic models that these IP-based services impose on mobile operator networks.

This SBC solution can be deployed for either Access or Interconnect SBC use cases, with full support for VoLTE and RCS deployments, and has been in trials with operators in Europe and US throughout this year. It is now Generally Available and is a critical element in Mavenir’s suite of end-to-end IMS-based solutions which our customers are currently deploying to commercially launch VoLTE and RCS services in 2014.

The 2nd of December 1971 is a timeless date in the history of the UAE. This is the day of truth, marking the march of development, generosity, and kindness; which was led by the founder of the Union, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan (May God have mercy upon his soul) who further elevated the UAE’s status to world-class levels. On this day, more than four decades ago, the Union embarked on a journey of development led by with the wisdom of HH Sheikh Khalifa and his brethren, their Highnesses Supreme Council Members and Rulers of the Emirates, who endeavored to overcome all obstacles and pursue the path of progress, development, and security. Throughout 42 years, our nation has been able to position itself amongst the most developed countries; this is evident across the emirates of the State that have witnessed increasing growth and prosperity in all aspects of economic, social, and political life.

The progress and development achieved by our country were brought to fruition thanks to the leadership’s unstinting support over the years, and earned our country the leading prestigious status on the international scene, which makes us proud day after day. We consider ourselves lucky to belong to this generous country “the country of goodness and benevolence”. Congratulations to the renaissance builder and founder, late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, (May God have mercy upon his soul) and to His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan who pursued the same path of progress and development and continued the march of goodness in all fields, making the UAE an oasis of security and stability for both citizens and residents.

Come December 2nd of every year, Emiratis stand proud in appreciation as they commemorate the UAE’s National Day. On this auspicious national occasion, we reminisce and admire this entity which stood tall and rose to the challenges with the help of Allah, led by the unwavering faith and vision of the country’s leadership.

They placed the human cadre at the center of every new development plan, and focused on educating and qualifying them, being an essential asset to the union’s progress. His Highness Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan followed in the same path, and gave his instructions to build schools, universities, and technical institutes. Human being was and will always be the top priority, being the real wealth behind any country’s development, and the ultimate objective for which efforts and potentials need to be harnessed to create a conscious generation armed with education and knowledge, and capable of keeping pace with the latest developments and changes in the world.

The Ministry of Interior has dedicated particular attention to train and qualify the human cadre, and to boost the efficiency of staff members working in the ministry’s various bodies, with a view to enhance police performance level. For this end, the Directorate General of Human resources at the Ministry of Interior endeavors to achieve the police leadership’s vision by training its national cadres to assume leadership positions in the various police departments to achieve the coveted goals and ensure security and stability in the country.
