Acme Packet has announced that Telenor Sweden has chosen its session border controllers (SBCs) to control the access and IP interconnect borders to its IMS data centers.

Currently Telenor Sweden offers hosted business unified communications using its IMS service infrastructure.

Acme Packet SBCs also enable Telenor Sweden to provide secure, reliable IP-to-IP network connections to other service provider networks. Redundancy for Telenor Sweden's IMS service infrastructure is ensured through the use of the Net-Net SBC's load balancing, routing and disaster recovery functions. Acme Packet's Net-SAFE capabilities secures Telenor Sweden's IMS service elements by performing access control, topology hiding and denial of service (DoS/DDoS) protection from malicious attacks and non-malicious overloads. The session admission control function of the Net-Net SBCs ensures high-quality services, assuring SLAs for its business customers.

"The world's incumbent service providers, such as Telenor Sweden, are turning to Acme Packet to control access to their IMS service infrastructure," said Seamus Hourihan, vice president of marketing and product management for Acme Packet. "Acme Packet Net-Net SBCs provide critical access and interconnect border functions-securing service elements, maximizing service reach and assuring SLAs-that enable service providers to deliver IMS-based services to business and residential customers."
