Introduction

The LanScape VOIP Media Proxy™ Server is designed to be deployed with the LanScape Centrex Proxy™ Server (SIP proxy). Using the VOIP Media Proxy™ allows you to add full RTP media proxying capabilities to your voice and video VOIP network infrastructure.

The primary reason to deploy the VOIP Media Proxy™ server is to overcome the media related issues VOIP networks face when Network Address Translation (NAT) is present in the networking environment. Using the VOIP Media Proxy™ solution greatly simplifies the VOIP telephony deployment while at the same time ensuring that all call related media (voice traffic) is handled properly and can traverse NAT network elements.

An extremely useful feature of the VOIP Media Proxy™ is that it can communicate with one or more LanScape Centrex Proxy™ Servers regardless of VOIP domain. All SIP proxies will load share all available media proxies dynamically. What this means is that a media "server farm" can be established and one or more VOIP domains can use the available media proxying capabilities without regard for any of the other domains. It also means that media proxying capability is completely scalable.

For complete details associated with using the Lanscape VOIP Media Proxy™ Server in conjunction with the LanScape Centrex Proxy™ Server, please refer to the LanScape Centrex Proxy™ Server product page.

Now, here is a very important point: With this solution, you no longer need to deploy expensive 3rd party session border controllers or session boundary controllers. All this capability is available to you in your familiar Microsoft Windows environment as a completely software based solution. Get ready to say goodbye to that antiquated dedicated VOIP hardware.
