Hi Michael,

The Ribbon Communications (formerly https://www.sonus.net/) SBC Edge portfolio (i.e. the https://www.sonus.net/products/sbc-1000, https://www.sonus.net/products/sbc-2000, and the https://www.sonus.net/products/sbc-software-edition-lite) supports presence reporting associated with non-Skype for Business endpoints. An example use case describing provisioning on the Skype for Business Server, the SBC, and third party phones (considered as analog phones from the SfB Server vantage point) as well as operation is posted https://support.sonus.net/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=100533658. There's also an excellent https://greiginsydney.com/sonus-third-party-presence/ from MVP Greig Sheridan when the feature was first released, back in July 2015. Hope this helps!

Regards, Umar Kabir

Product Manager, Ribbon Communications
