[VoiceOps] Sansay VSXi vs Sonus SWe

[Brandon Buckner]

Hi Jeff,

The Sonus SWe is basically just the Sonus 5xxx SBC software. It looks 
and functions identically. We use quite a few of the 5210 SBCs and used 
the SWe for some small testing prior to hardware purchase for some 
projects. I think it basically comes down to whether you need hardware 
DSPs for transcoding/ringback or not. The platform is pretty solid and 
easy to configure and can use a couple different versions of on-board 
policy database or connect to a centralized PSX policy platform for 
profiles and routing decisions across all your gateways.

One thing to consider with Sonus is that they have now merged with 
Genband (as opposed to Genband completely taking them over like other 
platforms in our space) and are now calling themselves Ribbon. I don't 
know what genius came up with that name. So far our support hasn't 
changed other than company names/email addresses/support portal, but 
I've been on the Genband takeover train before with Iperia and Nortel 
and am iffy about the support future.
