Perimeta shipped 33 percent of global virtual sessions in Q1. ![hands-typing-on-laptop-with-digital-concept-overlay.jpg](https://www.metaswitch.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Stock%20images/Banner/hands-typing-on-laptop-with-digital-concept-overlay.jpg?width=800&height=533&name=hands-typing-on-laptop-with-digital-concept-overlay.jpg) “Synergy confirmed that Metaswitch once again outpaced all others with global shipments of vSBCs in the first quarter of 2017,” said Jeremy Duke, founder and chief analyst of Synergy Research. “Metaswitch’s early move on SBC virtualization and their proven expertise in NFV had put them in the front of the market last year and our research shows that Metaswitch still leads the way in shipments of virtualized SBCs.” Perimeta is known as the world’s first software based, carrier-class Session Border Controller and the first available as a VNF (Virtualized Network Function) that delivers the security and performance demanded by real-time communications services deployed from cloud environments, while also providing a level of visibility previously unavailable to network operators. Equally applicable to both VoLTE access and interconnect services, Perimeta reduces operational costs, enhances subscriber satisfaction and simplifies network deployment by eliminating the complexity and expense of external monitoring devices and/or analysis software.
