Product Information

Specification

Description:

The SmartNode 5481 Enterprise Session Border Controller + Router is a high-performance solution designed to seamlessly connect various IP PBX products to service providers, ensuring robust security and optimal efficiency within the VoIP network. By linking the enterprise’s LAN with an Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP), the SN5481 provides a unified conduit for multimedia services, including voice, video, and data. Building on the success of Patton’s award-winning SmartNode 5400 Series, the next-generation SmartNode 5481 Series now features hardware that is upgradeable to IPv6.

The SN5481, acting as a SIP Back-to-Back User Agent, serves as a unified interface to the service provider network, resolving SIP discrepancies between the IP PBX and the provider’s softswitch. It also offers CODEC transcoding for up to 64 SIP sessions, optimizing bandwidth usage for both voice and data. By converting high-bandwidth G.711 calls on the LAN to lower-bandwidth G.723 calls for WAN transport, the SN5481 significantly reduces WAN access bandwidth requirements.
