The AudioCodes Mediant 2600 (M26-02/B/AC) is a 1U enterprise Session Border Controller (SBC) in a 2-port, AC-powered configuration. Built for medium-to-large enterprise SIP trunking environments, it provides robust call security, SIP normalization, media transcoding, and interoperability between diverse VoIP platforms. With support for Microsoft Teams Direct Routing, Zoom, and major UC platforms, the Mediant 2600 is a purpose-built SBC for modern hybrid communication environments.

The Telecom Spot Take

The Mediant 2600 occupies the mid-to-high range of AudioCodes' SBC portfolio — more capable than the Mediant 800B for session density, and well-suited to enterprise headquarters, data center SBC roles, and service provider edge deployments. The M26-02/B/AC's 2-port configuration covers straightforward SIP trunk scenarios: WAN to LAN, carrier SIP to UC platform, or cloud to on-prem. Its AC power supply and 1U form factor make it a natural fit for standard enterprise equipment racks. AudioCodes Teams Direct Routing certification means it can serve as the SBC anchor for Microsoft 365 voice deployments without additional gateway hardware.
