simple and flexible transition to Microsoft's® Skype for

proposition by delivering the following new features:
- A new, general purpose ASM that increases the number of Skype
for Business SBA users from 400 to 1,000 and the number of SBA
calls from 100 to 240 on the Sonus SBC 1000. Additionally,
the new ASM comes standard with Windows Server® 2012 R2
and 2 Microsoft Hyper-V® virtual machines to allow
on-board hosting of third-party applications on the Sonus SBC 1000

eliminating the need to procure a separate server, software, and
necessary licenses.

supports a maximum of 192 SIP sessions, which represents a 20
percent increase over previous releases. The SBC 1000 can
also be expanded with a maximum of four PRI ports (up from two),12
FXO ports (up from eight), and new configurations priced lower than
earlier releases.
- Three new entry level SBC 1000 configurations provide up to
four PRI, four BRI, four FXO, and four FXS ports in a
cost-effective platform. These entry level SBC 1000 configurations
