DetailsÂ
BroadSoft, Inc. [http://www.broadsoft.com ] (NASDAQ: BSFT) and AudioCodes
[http://www.audiocodes.com ] (NasdaqGS: AUDC) today announced that AudioCodes' line of
session border controllers (SBCs) and Gateways will be used by BroadSoft(R) for use with
its BroadCloud(R) SIP Trunking offering, enabling Service Providers to offer the cost
savings and resiliency benefits of SIP trunking to businesses that wish to maintain their
legacy PBX investments. Additionally, Service Providers will benefit from interoperability
and an easy-to-deploy range of SBCs and Gateways. BroadSoft and AudioCodes will jointly
promote this offering, and it will be fulfilled through BroadSoft's extensive distribution
channel network.
The launch of BroadCloud SIP Trunking will enable Service Providers to offer their
business customers a high value service for locations not ready to fully deploy cloud PBX
and UC. AudioCodes' portfolio of SBCs and Gateways were tested with BroadCloud solutions
and successfully completed interoperability testing. AudioCodes' SBCs and Gateways allow
SIP trunk interoperability with virtually any PBX or IP-PBX, including Microsoft Skype for
Business, and represent a secured point of demarcation between the SIP trunking
infrastructure and the enterprise network. They provide integrated high quality voice
features, support for SIP protocols, a wide variety of codecs, built-in analog and digital
interfaces, and built-in monitoring based on BroadSoft's PacketSmart(R), embedded within
the SBC.
"The use of the AudioCodes platforms is an important element in the deployment of our
SIP trunk offering and a natural next step in our strategic relationship," said Taher
Behbehani, Chief Marketing Officer, BroadSoft. "AudioCodes has a strong reputation, for
many years as an industry leader, of having assisted companies in their migration from TDM
to SIP. This solution enables Service Providers to approach multi-site enterprises with a
large unamortized legacy PBX installed base and offer them immediate business value and a
graceful migration to cloud-based UC at a pace that makes sense for their business, while
maximizing their ROI."
"We are proud that our platforms were chosen for BroadCloud's SIP Trunking offering,"
said Lior Aldema, Chief Operating Officer and Vice President Global Sales at AudioCodes.
"BroadSoft's selection of AudioCodes' products for use in its SIP trunk offering after a
very meticulous process is yet further evidence of the strong value of our AudioCodes One
Voice for BroadSoft Solution, a one-stop-shop offering that includes not only Session
Border Controllers and Gateways, but also IP Phones, business routers and micro-business
solutions."
AudioCodes' SBC portfolio includes a wide range of SBCs scaling from a few sessions
all the way up to 30,000 sessions. They can be deployed as either an appliance or as a
software SBC.
