Acme Packet’s Net-Net family of session border controllers, multiservice security gateways and session routing proxies enable the delivery of trusted, first-class interactive communications—voice, video and multimedia sessions—and data services across IP network borders. The brand name "Net-Net" reflects the role of these products in interconnecting IP networks to deliver these services and applications.

The Net-Net family supports multiple applications in service provider, enterprise, government and contact center networks—from VoIP trunking to hosted enterprise and residential services to fixed-mobile convergence. They satisfy critical security, service assurance and regulatory requirements in wireline, cable and wireless networks; and support multiple protocols—SIP, H.323, MGCP/NCS, H.248 and RTSP—and multiple border points—service provider access and interconnect, and enterprise access and trunking.

For service providers, the Net-Net product family plays a critical role in next-gen, converged fixed-mobile architectures including 3GPP IMS, 3GPP2 MMD, ATIS, ETSI TISPAN, GSMA, the Multi-Service Forum and PacketCable. It secures the subscriber access and interconnect/peering borders and enables interoperability of heterogeneous endpoints, service infrastructure elements and networks to maximize service reach. It controls admission, overload and IP network transport to assure SLAs, maximize revenues and minimize costs. Lastly, it enables regulatory compliance with emergency service (E911), national government priority service (GETS) and lawful intercept (CALEA) requirements.

Platforms

Net-Net 2600
The Net-Net 2600 platform delivers an integrated SBC configuration optimized for enterprise and contact center applications.  The 1U Net-Net 2610 and 2U Net-Net 2620 are Acme Packet-supported Intel quad-core servers operating Net-Net OS-E. They provide all of the critical controls for delivering trusted, first class interactive communications—voice, video and multimedia sessions—across IP network borders.

Net-Net 3800
The Net-Net 3800 platform is our integrated SBC solution for smaller service providers, government defense and security–focused agencies, small enterprises and smaller sites within larger organizations.  The Net-Net 3800 and all higher capacity platforms feature Acme Packet’s custom hardware design tightly integrated with Net-Net OS to satisfy the most critical infrastructure security requirements.

Net-Net 9200
This next-generation platform offers the highest levels of performance, availability and capacity to service provider and large enterprise VoIP/UC deployments in a single 7 RU hardware chassis-based system. The multiprocessor Net-Net 9200 platform, in SBC configurations, also supports transcoding and transrating for a wide selection of wireline and wireless codecs.

Net-Net 4500 ATCA blade
This ATCA blade is designed to be easily integrated by wireless and wireline communication systems vendors into their ATCA chassis. The blade supports all Acme Packet Net-Net SBC, MSG and SRP configurations, and all of the functions and features supported by Net-Net OS. Consisting of an ATCA front card and rear transition module, the ATCA blade is purpose-built to enable Net-Net OS functions and exploits the power and capacity of the industry’s best processing and memory components.

Management systems

Net-Net EMS
The element management system (EMS) for the Net-Net family supports all required configuration, fault, performance and security management functions for multiple border elements in multiple networks through an easy-to-use, browser-based graphical user interface. Net-Net EMS can efficiently integrate into existing and next-generation operational support systems through industry-standard SOAP/XML, SNMP v2c and syslog interfaces. Other management tools include Net-Net SAS, CLI, telnet, FTP and RADIUS.

Net-Net SAS
The Session Analysis System (SAS) provides off-line collection, reporting and analysis of session call detail records (CDRs) for the Net-Net family of SBCs. It enables comprehensive session/call level troubleshooting, performance analysis and traffic monitoring without the need for third party tools or application development.
