Connectivity Products

These include VoIP gateways, telecom cards, and session border controllers (SBCs).

  • Gateways – VoIP gateways provided by the company enable you to keep your present legacy infrastructure and connect to VoIP services, thereby helping your business economize on money and time. All you need to do is connect any of Sangoma’s VoIP Gateways at the edge of your network, and they will automatically take care of the call transcoding and processing required between the SIP-TDM networks.
  • SBS – Businesses connecting their infrastructure to a VoIP Connection, or a SIP Trunk, need an SBC for interoperability, security, and transcoding. More often than not, businesses tend to overlook the significance of an SBC when moving from their legacy phone system to VoIP and basically utilize their present firewall for safety and make a big mistake. This is because a firewall isn’t effective at protecting your data and network when you reveal it on the internet, which is how you connect to VoIP services. On the other hand, a Sangoma SBC shields both your voice network and data and is designed to manage each facet of phone calls that travel across the internet.
  • Telephony cards – Sangoma’s award-winning BRI and Analog, E1 and T1 telephony cards are driving the world’s number one IVR, PBX, and call-center apps. Well-known for their dependability and high quality, Sangoma’s telephony cards are also the most versatile on the market, with impressive compatibility with the most commercially available motherboards and servers. They are the number one choice among Asterisk, Voice API, and FreePBX integrators with a broad array of protocol support, which includes PRI, Analog, SS7, CAS MFCR2, and WAN protocols.
