The DISA APL provides a list of certified technology products for deployment in the U.S. DoD. The certification is a rigorous testing process, featuring comprehensive interoperability and information assurance tests to validate and certify vendor products for operation in DoD networks.
"The JITC certification of our SBC 7000 and G5 Media Gateway are the latest examples of our ongoing commitment to providing the DoD with the most extensive set of carrier-grade, best-in-class security and voice communications solutions," said

Ribbon recently announced that its JITC-certified Application Server was part of the largest VoIP deployment in DoD history, deploying more than 60,000 seats to the command and control organization.
The SBC 7000, which can scale up to 150,000 sessions via simple software licenses, was architected to provide the industry's highest scaling capacity with fully enabled security, media and transcoding features, allowing operational teams to expand capacity in days, not months. The SBC 7000's massive scale empowers service providers and large enterprises to leave behind traditional "racking and stacking" of small capacity SBCs to accommodate growth, resulting in faster deployment times and reduced operational expenses.
Ribbon's G5 Media Gateway provides high-density support for analog device migrations with 768 ports per chassis frame. Additionally, it supports extended length legacy copper cabling, which is commonly deployed on military bases (supporting over 20,000 feet). The G5 can dramatically reduce the need to replace legacy analog devices or legacy cabling, making the migration to next-generation
