Ribbon Centralized Policy and Routing Server Software Edition (PSX SWe)

Ribbon’s PSX SWe is a virtual, cloud native solution that provides the same features, exceptional scalability and centralized policy/traffic control as the hardware-based PSX for both SIP and legacy network elements, fitting seamlessly into any service provider’s or enterprise’s Network Function Virtualization (NFV) strategy.  The PSX SWe is the industry’s most feature-rich policy and routing control solution, integrating with session border control (SBC), media gateway (MG), and softswitch solutions.

The PSX SWe provides 20+ routing options, centralized policy control, integrated number portability and number translation services, centralized dial plan management, and compliance with regulatory services.  The PSX SWe can also be deployed as part of a virtual, multi-vendor IMS infrastructure providing the Breakout Gateway Control Function (BGCF).

PSX SWe benefits include:

• Fully-featured policy engine deployed co-resident with other VNFs running on commercial-off-the-shelf platforms
• Intelligent session control with policy decisions for least cost and QoS routing, priority and admission control based on dozens of options, including media type, source/destination and time of day/week
• Ability to integrate into multi-vendor environments to create centralized dial plans and call routing
• Deployable in a highly redundant architecture with live upgrade capabilities to deliver 99.999% availability, even during peak load supporting millions of calls/hour
• A single point of provisioning enabling ease of operation, reduction in provisioning errors coupled with distributed session processing to provide increased scale and performance.
