NetBorder SS7 VoIP Gateway

Sangoma's NetBorder SS7 to VoIP Gateway software provides full-featured, carrier-class VoIP deployments while leveraging the flexibility of standard computing platforms and operating systems.

SS7 to VoIP Media Gateway Software

The NetBorder SS7 to VoIP Gateway allows telecom service providers to introduce VoIP in their networks in the most cost-effective and flexible way. This is simply accomplished by combining the software with Sangoma’s award-winning digital T1/E1 and transcoding boards on standard computing servers. The combination works as a full-fledged SS7 to VoIP gateway, with the flexibility and expandability of software.
