WESTFORD, Mass. --(Business Wire)--
Sonus
Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONS), a global
leader in securing real-time communications, announced today that
the Sonus SBC 5110 and Sonus SBC 5210 Session Border Controllers (SBCs)
have completed the interoperability testing and information assurance
certification for the Defense Information Systems Agency (News - Alert) (DISA) UCR2013
requirements and are posted on the JITC's Approved Products List (APL).
The JITC APL provides a list of certified technology products for
deployment in the U.S. DoD. The SBC 5110 and the SBC 5210 join

The SBC 5110 and SBC 5210 are high-performance SBCs that deliver
exceptional scale and capacity to secure and enable real-time

designed to help enterprises, service providers and government agencies
protect their networks, ensure high quality voice and video
communications and reduce costs through more efficient IP-based network
architecture.
The DISA UCR2013 is a rigorous testing process that features
comprehensive interoperability and information assurance tests to
validate and certify vendor products for operation in DoD networks. The
addition of the SBC 5110 and SBC 5210 to the APL will give options that
would offer agencies more flexibility and higher performance when
building out their VoIP and UC networks.
