Carrier-class session border controllers, such as the Newport Networks 1460, that can be deployed as a signalling proxy and media proxy can meet and exceed the requirements of next generation IMS-based networks. This gives the carrier the ability to deploy signalling proxies and media proxies today to meet existing network requirements, such as NAT traversal, Lawful Intercept and policing, in the full knowledge that investment in hardware and software will be reusable as their networks migrate towards a converged architecture.
