<p>Hi Jeff, <br>
</p>
<p>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. <br>
</p>
<p>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. <br>
</p>

<div dir="ltr">We are in the market for a new SBC platform and
have narrowed our choice down to two different products. The
Sansay VSXi or the Sonus SWe. We will be running on a vmware
hypervisor in several different markets. The SBC would be for
SIP access with Broadworks and SIP peering with other carriers.

<div>I was wondering if anyone can share with me any of their
experiences good or bad with either company on or off the
list.</div>
