Step by Step Walkthrough Creating an Ribbon SBC SWe Lite VM on Azure and fully Deploying it with Teams Direct Routing

Azure SWe Lite, Enterprise Voice, Ribbon, SBC, Step by Step, SWe Lite / April 6, 2022

In the following series of articles, I will demonstrate how I have created a fully working Ribbon SBC VM (SBC SWe Lite) on Azure. I will also show how to integrate it with Teams Direct Routing and SIP Trunk

Such setup can be used to fully test and practice:

  • Configuring Teams Direct Routing with Ribbon SBC
  • Configuring Ribbon SBC
  • Integrating a SIP Trunk with Ribbon SBC

Also can be used to demonstrate a proof of concept

Or you can even use it as a production. It is a fully working setup

Some of the advantages of such a setup:

  • You don’t need to have a hardware SBC
  • You don’t need to have your own Public IP to have integration with Direct Routing
  • You don’t need to set up a firewall and other network equipment
  • You can easily have integration with any SIP Trunk
