Sonus SBC Solutions to Enable Secure, Real-Time Communications Certified for Interoperability in Genesys-Powered Contact Centers


WESTFORD, Mass. --(Business Wire)--

Sonus Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONS), a global leader in securing and enabling real-time communications, today announced that the Sonus portfolio of Session Border Controllers (SBCs) is formally certified for interoperability by Genesys (News - Alert), a leading provider of customer experience and contact center solutions. Additionally, Sonus is now recognized as a Genesys Silver Technology Partner.

Sonus' solutions secure and enable real-time communications across disparate PBX (News - Alert), contact center platforms and endpoints to help to deliver an exceptional customer experience. Protecting Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), video and other forms of online collaboration from interception and fraud so that customer conversations and sensitive information are secured - especially when handled by remote agents - is critical for Genesys contact centers and serves as an integral function of Sonus SBCs. Increased regulatory compliance for those providing customer services underscores the need for SBC solutions that can manage and control policy and routes in complex networks while protecting premise and hosted contact center solutions from Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.

Sonus offers a portfolio of virtualized and hardware-based SBCs, scaling from low session counts serving enterprise branch offices to the industry's highest session densities serving large service provider core infrastructure. Enabling feature-rich multimedia communications and the ability to integrate Microsoft Lync capabilities into the Genesys customer experience with the same codebase and management interfaces allow Genesys customers to gain deployment flexibility, investment protection and operational efficiencies. Furthermore, Genesys channel partners gain the ability to source the industry's broadest portfolio of SBCs from a single vendor.
