Current Analysis Ranks Huawei as Leader in SBC

[Shenzhen, China, December 2, 2016] Current Analysis, a global market intelligence group that covers IT and telecoms, has released its latest assessment of Session Border Controller (SBC) models and ranked Huawei’s SessionEngine2900 (SE2900) as tied for first place in the "leader" category. The report marks the third year in a row that Current Analysis has ranked Huawei’s SBC as leader in the industry.

The Huawei SE2900 ranked very strong across all assessment criteria and was the leader in terms of performance.

”The Huawei SE2900 is likely the most powerful SBC offering on the market today on a per-RU basis," said David Snow, Principal Analyst at Current Analysis. “The embedded Huawei SE2900 load balancer not only supports scaling, but also simplifies network design and operation. Unlike most SBCs from other vendors, the Huawei SE2900 provides APIs for third-party developers, helping carriers monetize their networks and gain competitive differentiation.”

Huawei’s SE2900 combines low power consumption with high performance meeting both signaling and media requirements for VoLTE and RCS services. It has been deployed by more than 300 operators worldwide, including 220 IMS network deployments. From these deployments, Huawei has gained a significant amount of SBC network experience. The SBC has also been regularly third-party validated, including the Miercom Performance Verified Certification for performance and security.
