SBCs with Teams Direct Routing

Posted by Koop on February 10, 2023

As per the Microsoft Teams blog post on Direct Routing for Teams, the following SBCs (Session Border Controllers) are supported:

  • Audiocodes
  • Fortinet
  • Oracle
  • Ribbon Sonus
  • Cisco
  • Avaya
  • TE Systems Anynode

It is important to note that the list of supported SBCs may change over time, and it’s best to check with Microsoft for the most up-to-date information on supported SBCs for Direct Routing for Teams. Here is the link to where Microsoft keeps the list up to date:

As for me, I have personal exeriance with Audiocodes, Sonus, and Anynode SBCs. I attempted to integrate teams with a 900e Audiocodes but I have over 100 endpoints integrated with Audiocodes and the requirements for teams would likely break the other endpoints. Since I had a relationship with Anynode, we made the decision to do direct routing with anynode for our Teams implementation. I have been using Anynode with Teams Direct Routing for over a year now and have had very little problems with it.
