Taking the Shortest Path to Secure Microsoft Teams Calling
Mid-sized and large organizations deploying Microsoft Teams with calling need a secure, scalable, and economic way to use their existing carrier contracts for PSTN connectivity. This involves deploying a Microsoft-certified session border controller (SBC) in the call path, which serves as a point of demarcation between your business and the cloud. With the right SBC solution, you can use your carrier PSTN trunks with Teams while at the same time securing your users from nefarious hackers attempting to infiltrate your systems for personal gain.
Microsoft now allows companies using Microsoft Teams for PSTN calling to deploy an SBC in the same Azure cloud where Teams itself runs. Deploying in the Azure cloud increases the quality of your voice communications by providing a shorter path to Teams Phone System. Plus, it’s convenient because you can order your Azure-based SBC right in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.
