Mitel Border Gateway (MBG)

The nature of the traditional office work place is changing with increased numbers of mobile and remote employees. To ensure enhanced productivity, companies are leveraging their investments in a Mitel IP-PBX by extending unified communications capabilities over the Internet to mobile or remote workers via IP phones, soft phones and WiFi/dual-mode phones. However, opening up the company’s internal network to allow employees to connect from anywhere, any time (from hotspots, hotels and home offices) raises a host of security concerns.

To ensure the deployment of secure internal and external workspaces, the Mitel Border Gateway provides comprehensive threat protection, strict access control, and privacy in a single consolidated server. This solution securely enables remote employees to work and collaborate productively by having a complete in-office unified communications experience without being physically in the office.

The Mitel Border Gateway (MBG) is the evolution of the Mitel Teleworker Solution for businesses of all sizes and Service Providers. MBG is a platform for the secure deployment of multiple network connectivity services in a number of network edge scenarios:

1. Teleworker Service
   A secure plug & play solution for remote workers;
2. SIP Trunk Proxy Service
   Serves a SIP-aware firewall at the edge of the company network and eliminates the need for 3rd party firewalls, and simplifies configuration and deployment;
3. Application Web Proxy Service
   Enables trusted connectivity between the company LAN and the Public Internet to provide secure access for unified communication and collaboration via the Mitel Applications Suite (MAS).
