NTT Communications (NTT Com) has selected Acme Packet's Net-Net session border controllers for its commercial network. Acme Packet's Net-Net products solve the critical problems across IP network borders, including security, service assurance, revenue and profit assurance, and law enforcement. The platform provides multiprotocol support (SIP, H.323, MGCP) with interworking functionality (SIP-H.323, H.323-H.323). It also supports security features such as hosted NAT traversal, access control, topology hiding, and denial of service (DoS) protection. Financial terms were not disclosed.
