In 2002, the Acme Packet Net-Net family of Session Aware Networking products won the SUPERQuest award for most promising IP/application services technology for public networks at SUPERCOMM 2002.[4]
On February 4, 2013, Oracle Corporation announced that it was to acquire Acme Packet for US$2.1 billion.[5][6][7] The deal closed in June 2013 and Acme Packet was folded into the Oracle Communications Global Business Unit.
Acme Packet’s Net-Net product family consists of the Net-Net OS software platform 2600, 3000, 4000 and 9000 series systems, 4000 ATCA blade and the EMS and SAS management tools. The Net-Net OS can be configured to provide SBC, MSG or SRP functions on any of the hardware platforms. The brand name "Net-Net" reflects the role of these products in interconnecting IP networks for voice, video and multimedia services.
Acme Packet SBCs provide control functions to video and multimedia sessions — across IP network borders. They support multiple applications in service provider, large enterprise and contact center networks — from VoIP trunking to hosted enterprise and residential services to fixed-mobile convergence.
