Regular readers and listeners will recall my conversation with Michael Rubin at Sonus Networks. Sonus is one of the unified communications thought leaders whose roots run deeper than most in this industry. They're one of the reasons the industry exists.

In the latest update on Sonus Networks' Network Border Switch (NBS), Sonus reported the results of its recent round of testing by CT Labs, establishing itself as one of the most comprehensive security solutions on the market today by providing carrier-class security features that help network operators maintain the integrity of their network.

Along with increased demand for security, the proliferation of IP networks has also cast peering capabilities into greater importance, as significant efficiencies can be gained by peering at a VoIP level rather than through costly conversions between IP and legacy circuit switching. The CT Labs verified the NBS' ability to deliver a unique solution that combines session control, PSTN gateway services, and security into a single, high performance, carrier-class system. CT Labs (http://www.ct-labs.com/) is a full service testing and analysis laboratory with a focus on converged communications and Next-Generation network products.

I'll be reviewing this report shortly and report back here on CT Labs findings.
