Show Content:

In this interview, I sat down with Eric Hernaez, CEO of Solegy, to talk about the OpenSBC Project and how it provides an open source implementation of a session border controller (SBC).  We talked about how OpenSBC came about, who is using it, how scalable it is and where users can learn more.  We also discussed Solegy, the company supporting the open source OpenSBC project and what they are doing. It was an enjoyable talk that really came about randomly when I met Eric near the press room at IT Expo in Los Angeles back in September 2007. We had been wanting to learn more about the OpenSBC project so I put my recorder on a table and we started talking.

More information about the OpenSBC project and other open source SIP-related projects can be found at opensourcesip.org.

Production assistance on this Special Edition was provided by Sergio Meinardi.
