Sonus Networks, Inc. (SONS) Leveraging Innovative Technological Solutions to Increase Presence in Evolving Communications Industry

Sonus Networks enables and secures real-time communications that allow the world’s leading service providers and enterprises to embrace the next generation of session initiated protocol (SIP) and 4G/VoLTE solutions – including voice over IP (VoIP), video, instant messaging and online collaboration. With nearly two decades of industry experience, the company provides a complete portfolio of hardware-based and virtualized session border controllers (SBCs), diameter signaling controllers (DSCs), policy/routing servers and media and signaling gateways to customers in nearly 100 countries around the globe.

Since being founded in 1997, Sonus has increased its market presence by successfully evolving to meet the demands of the communications industry. In 2014, the company built on this proven strategy through the launch of its SBC 7000. Utilizing a transcoding firmware with nearly double the capacity of competitive systems, this purpose-built platform is capable of licensing up to 150,000 sessions for secure, reliable delivery of multimedia services in the world’s largest communications networks. Through the commercialization of this product, Sonus provides its clients with the means for streamlined expansion of operational capacity in order to effectively accommodate rapid customer growth.

“Service providers today are facing insatiable demand for multimedia communications applications – voice, video and data – and many of them are struggling with how to meet this demand,” David Tipping, vice president of Sonus, stated in a news release. “Sonus now offers a disruptive platform that resets service providers’ expectations for real-time dependent sessions with scale.”

This dedication to scale could pay dividends for Sonus in the future. According to a report by IBISWorld, VoIP has experienced massive growth over the past five years in both commercial and residential applications. From 2010 to 2015, the overall market recorded annual growth of 17.5 percent. Moving forward, increased network capacity will be essential, as the continued expansion of 4G data networks will likely propel accelerated adoption of real-time communication solutions in the years to come.

Despite recording mildly disappointing financial results in the first quarter of 2015, Sonus remains in a strong competitive position to capitalize on the inevitable technological shift of the communications industry. For prospective investors, the company’s persistent commitment to innovative technologies, along with its recent efforts to optimize its cost structure, could provide a platform to realize improved returns in the months ahead.
