1 Overview
The Mediant 500L Multi-Service Business Router (MSBR), hereafter referred to as device,
is an all-in-one router combining access, data, voice and security in a single device. The
device is suited for managed data, SIP trunking, hosted PBX and cloud-based services,
and allows service providers to deploy flexible and cost-effective solutions.
The device combines multiple service functions such as a Media Gateway, Session Border
Controller (SBC), Data Router and Firewall, LAN switch, and WAN access. The device
offers enhanced dialing plans and voice routing capabilities along with SIP-to-SIP
mediation, allowing enterprises to implement SIP Trunking services (IP-to-IP call routing)
and IP-based Unified Communications, as well as flexible PSTN and legacy PBX
connectivity.
The device is designed as a secured Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and data platform. Enhanced
media gateway security features include, for example, SRTP for media, TLS for SIP
control, and IPSec for management. Data security functions include integrated Stateful
Firewall, IDS/IPS, SSL for remote user access, and site-to-site VPN. A fully featured
enterprise class SBC provides a secured voice network deployment based on a Back-to-
Back User Agent (B2BUA) implementation.
The device offers call "survivability" solutions, ensuring service continuity to enterprises
served by a centralized SIP-based IP-Centrex server or branch offices of distributed
enterprises. Call survivability enables internal office communication between SIP clients in
the case of disconnection from the centralized SIP IP-Centrex server or IP-PBX.
