WESTFORD, Mass. and
RALEIGH, N.C., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ribbon
Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: RBBN), a global provider of real
time communications software and network solutions to service
providers, enterprises, and critical infrastructure sectors, today
announced that it partnered with Bandwidth
Inc. (NASDAQ: BAND), a software company focused on
communications for the enterprise, to rapidly expand network
capacity for Bandwidth's customers using Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The Bandwidth team needed to quickly address changing demands on
network capacity due to March's COVID-19 induced stay-at-home
orders and subsequent rapid rise in the number of people working
from home. Bandwidth was able to leverage Ribbon's
market-leading Session Border Controller Software Edition
(SWe) for expanded network capacity via AWS.
"We worked with the Ribbon team to rapidly deploy their SBC SWe
and were able to easily accommodate the rapid spike in demand from
our customers," said Scott Mullen,
Chief Technology Officer at Bandwidth. "Our customers are some of
the most recognized brands in the world and they have come to
expect world-class support from Bandwidth. We are extremely proud
of the fact that we could collaborate with Ribbon to leverage their
cloud-based SBC technology to quickly and seamlessly meet the
immediate high demand for increased network capacity."
"This swift deployment of our cloud-ready SBC SWe on AWS by our
longtime partner Bandwidth is a great example of how we work
closely with our customers to meet their end-customers' rapidly
changing needs," said Kevin Riley,
Chief Technology Officer at Ribbon. "Bandwidth is a leader when it
comes to offering their customers innovative solutions and
services. We are delighted that Bandwidth leveraged our SBC SWe to
rapidly scale capacity and deliver secure advanced cloud-based
communications services that allowed their customers to switch to
working from home instead of the office without disruptions to
their network."
Ribbon's SBC SWe is a powerful virtual solution that can scale
up to 150,000 sessions via simple software licenses, allowing
operational teams to expand capacity in hours, not days or months.
The SBC SWe's massive scale includes fully enabled security, media
and transcoding features that empower large enterprises to easily
accommodate dynamic customer growth, resulting in faster
time-to-market and reduced operational expenses. The solution can
be deployed on any virtual or cloud (private or public) environment
without compromising features, scale and performance – with no
truck roll.
