The AudioCodes Mediant 500 is a compact, high-performance VoIP connectivity solution for small enterprises and branch office locations.

AudioCodes Mediant 500 Features 

  • 250 SBC Sessions
  • 30 TDM Sessions
  • 1+1 High Availability
  • WebRTC Gateway
  • Comprehensive interoperability, proven interoperability with SIP trunks, SIP platforms and IP cloud services
  • Hybrid functionality, true hybrid SBC and gateway platform for gradual migration, low CAPEX and reduced space and power footprints
  • Enhanced security, robust perimeter defence against cyber, DoS and DDoS attacks, as well as eavesdropping, fraud and service theft
  • Superior voice quality, advanced capabilities for optimizing and monitoring voice service quality
  • High resiliency, local branch survivability and PSTN fallback with E911

Scaling up to 250 concurrent sessions, the Mediant 500 connects IP-PBXs to any SIP trunking service provider and offers superior performance in connecting any SIP to SIP environment.


The Mediant 500 also supports up to 30 voice channels in a 1U platform to enable versatile connectivity between TDM and VoIP networks, such as connecting legacy TDM PBX systems to IP networks and IP-PBXs to the PSTN.

AudioCodes Mediant 500 Technical Specification

Capacities

  • Max. Signaling: 250
  • Max. Registered Users: 1,500
  • Max. RTP/SRTP Sessions: 200

Telephony Interfaces

  • Digital: Single E1/T1 interface
  • Analog: 5 ppm High Precision
  • Clock Source: Various ISDN PRI protocols such as EuroISDN, North American NI-2, LucentTM 4/5ESS, NortelTM DMS- 100 and others. Different CAS protocols, including MFC R2,

Network Interfaces

  • Ethernet: 4 GE interfaces configured in 1+1 redundancy or as individual ports

Security

  • Access Control: DoS/DDoS line rate protection, bandwidth throttling, dynamic blacklisting (Intrusion Detection System)
  • VoIP Firewall: RTP pinhole management, rogue RTP detection and prevention, SIP message policy, advanced RTP latching
  • Encryption/Authentication: TLS, SRTP, HTTPS, SSH, client/server SIP Digest authentication, RADIUS Digest
  • Privacy: Topology hiding, user privacy
  • Traffic Separation: VLAN/physical interface separation for multiple media, control and OAMP interfaces

Interoperability

  • SIP B2BUA: Full SIP transparency, mature and broadly deployed SIP stack, stateful proxy mode
  • SIP Interworking: 3xx redirect, REFER, PRACK, session timer, early media, call hold, delayed offer
  • Registration and Authentication: User registration restriction control, registration and authentication on behalf of users, SIP authentication server for SBC users
  • Transport Mediation: Mediation between SIP over UDP/TCP/TLS, IPv4/IPv6, RTP/SRTP (SDES)
  • Header Manipulation: Add/modify/delete SIP headers and message body using simple WireShark-like language with powerful capabilities such as variables and utility functions
  • Number Manipulations: Ingress and egress digit manipulation
  • SIP Interworking: 3xx redirect, REFER, PRACK, session timer, early media, call hold, delayed offer
  • Signal Conversion: DTMF/RFC 2833/SIP, T.38 fax, T.38 V3, packet-time conversion
  • NAT: Local and far-end NAT traversal for support of remote workers

Voice Quality and SLA

  • Call Admission Control: Limit number and rate of concurrent sessions and registers per peer for inbound and outbound directions
  • Packet Marking: 802.1p/Q VLAN tagging, DiffServ, TOS
  • Standalone Survivability: Maintains local calls in the event of WAN failure. Outbound calls can use PSTN fallback (including E911).
  • Voice Monitoring and Enhancement: Transrating, RTCP-XR, acoustic echo cancellation, replacing voice profile due to impairment detection, fixed and dynamic voice gain control, packet loss concealment, dynamic programmable jitter buffer, silence suppression/comfort noise generation, RTP redundancy, broken connection detection
  • Direct Media: Hair-pinning (no media anchoring) of local calls to avoid unnecessary media delays and bandwidth consumption
  • Test Agent: Ability to remotely verify connectivity, voice quality and SIP message flow between SIP UAs
  • High Availability SBC high availability with two-box redundancy, active calls preserved

SIP Routing

  • Routing Criteria Incoming SIP trunk, DID ranges, host names, any SIP headers, codecs, QoE, bandwidth
  • Querying External Databases Routing based on customized queries of ENUM, LDAP, HTTP server (REST API)
  • Route To Configured SIP peers, registered users, IP address, request URI
  • Advanced Routing Features Alternative routes, load balancing, least-cost routing, call forking, E911 emergency call detection and prioritisation
  • SIPREC IETF standard SIP recording interface

Management

  • OAM&P Browser-based GUI, CLI, SNMP, INI Configuration file, REST API, EMS

Physical and Environmental

  • Dimensions 43.7 (1U) x 310 x 210 mm (HxWxD)
  • Weight 4.4 lb (2.0kg)
