Acme Packet Net-Net product family delivers trusted, first-class interactive communications and data services

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.  

Our 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

Our 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.  

For enterprises and contact center

Our Net-Net product family enables the secure delivery of a broad range of interactive communications services and applications ranging from basic VoIP to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)-enabled unified communications.

Session border controllers (SBC)

A rapidly growing category of network equipment, provides critical control functions to deliver high quality interactive communications—voice, video and multimedia sessions—across IP network borders.

Multiservice security gateways (MSG)  

These are a very specific type of IP network “border controller” used by mobile service providers. A MSG securely connects subscribers to their mobile voice and data services over the untrusted Internet and/or untrusted wireless networks. As a “gateway” they are deployed at the border between the core mobile services network and the untrusted wired Internet and/or wireless networks that use public, unlicensed spectrum such as WiFi.

Session routing proxies (SRP)

route SIP-based voice, video, instant messaging and multimedia sessions within and between the mobile, fixed-line and transit networks of service providers. Session routing proxies address scaling problems when session routing decisions become much more complex, requiring a dynamic, real-time routing decision for each individual session for multiple sources and destinations within a network.
