Enterprise Media Gateways
Businesses have migrated to IP-based communications systems to improve collaboration and contain costs. But many enterprises still maintain large collections of legacy gear, both TDM (often called digital)and analog. Organizations can have hundreds or even thousands of analog phones as well as analog lines for elevator phones, door phones, alarm systems, and fax machines. Many large organizations often have campus environments with legacy cabling that is cost-prohibitive to upgrade to IP. In fact, it's not unusual to find organizations that can't upgrade to modern unified communications because of the cost of upgrading analog devices and cabling.
The most popular Unified Communications solutions don't have a strong analog station story deploying multiple analog station gateways can be expensive and the problem is magnified when hundreds or even thousands of analog stations per location are needed. Some analog stations cannot easily migrate to voice over IP, and wiring and cable plant issues can exacerbate the problem. When you factor in the cost of deploying multiple small and medium sized gateways, its very common to come to the conclusion that leaving analog ports on the old PBX system is less expensive than incorporating them into a UC rollout. This problem has driven many enterprises to keep their Legacy PBX systems in service for years beyond the original schedule in order to defer this cost, but this option gets more expensive each year maintenance costs are increasing, and experienced PBX engineers are getting harder to find and to keep.
Ribbon’s Enterprise Gateways deliver pragmatic solutions to network transformation. Whether it's just a few devices at a branch office or tens of thousands of lines at a university or military base. Ribbon has solutions for any size deployment.

The SBC 1000 Gateway (learn more about the full SBC 1000 here) provides small and medium-sized businesses with cost-effective path to connect legacy PBXs or analog devices to SIP trunks. It’s ideal for deployment in locations where traditional analog, BRI or PRI are being phased out by local telecom providers and the organization seeks to retain existing equipment that won’t support IP-based services. Since SIP trunks are also lower cost, The SBC 1000 Gateway can reduce the cost of monthly telecom services, often paying for itself in months.
The SBC 1000 Gateway is a low-cost, complementary offering to Ribbon’s full-featured SBC 1000 offering. It only provides gateway services (SIP to TDM/analog). It can easily be upgraded, via a license key, to deliver the full complement of the SBC 1000’s session border control services. This assures full investment protection when the organization migrates to a newer IP-PBX or adopts a cloud UC service like Microsoft Teams, Zoom Phone, Ring Central, etc.
The SBC 1000 Gateway supports any-to-any connectivity between FXS, FXO, BRI, PRI, and SIP endpoints or devices. The Ribbon SBC 1000 Gateway also features a wide range of I/O and call capacities as well as built-in survivability for TDM, FXx, and SIP devices, so calls go through even if the wide area network (WAN) goes down.

Analog phones or devices, because of their location, wiring, or site cable plant, cannot be cost-effectively migrated to voice-over IP. The math gets even worse when multiple small or medium-sized analog gateways need to be deployed in remote wiring closets that were never designed for racks of electronics. Often, organizations just leave analog ports on their old PBX because it appears to be less expensive than incorporating them into a UC rollout.
The G5 Line Access Gateway provides the industry's highest density analog line support, with support for 768 pots lines per chassis. The G5 converts analog to industry-standard SIP so it can seamlessly connect analog lines to Ribbon’s C20 Call Session Controller, Application Server (AS), CS2100, or 3rd party PBXs. It can also dramatically simplify a cloud UC (UCaaS) migration as it integrates with almost any cloud service that supports SIP endpoints.
A single G5 shelf supports up to 768 analog lines and 2,304 subscribers per 3-chassis frame. Even large data centers of 20,000 lines, requiring over 5,000 square feet of floor space, can be reduced to a few simple frames of space. The G5 also supports long loop lengths of tens of thousands of feet so it can be centrally deployed in campus environments. For many organizations, the G5 can finally make migrating to an IP-based or cloud-based solution cost-effective.
