SBN files exist as 3 different types. Please find information about each of them below.

The sbn file extension is associated with ArcView and ArcGIS geography software from ESRI. The binary sbn file contains spatial indexes, used only by ESRI software. The format is not documented or implemented by other vendors. The shp file contains the necessary spatial data to parse successfully so the sbn file is not strictly necessary. SBN files are saved on SD cards in GPS devices like the GT-31. Stored in a binary format, SBN stands for “SiRF binary logging” referring to the type of GPS chip. The SBN format logs position and speed data while using the device. SBN files handle and maintain a binary representation of the shape data in a shp file. This format contains information speeding up spatial queries on shapefiles. The SBN format is applied only by ESRI software and not supported by other tools.

We have free online apps to view, edit, convert, merge, split, and compare SBN files without installing anything. Click the links to see details. SBN files usually comply with the SIP IETF standard. They are often used when upgrading an IP phone from SCCP to SIP. IP phone firmware can be managed with Unified Communications Manager software, previously CallManager. Windows systems automatically find programs to open SBN files. If not installed, download free or paid apps with proper functionality. SBN is a firmware “image” file for Cisco IP phones. It has data used during firmware upgrades, usually in a package. It complies with SIP IETF standard. SBN files are often used when upgrading from SCCP to SIP. Some models have multiple firmware files. The 7960 and 7940 7.2(3) zip file has a .bin, .sbn, .sb2 and .loads. The 7905G 6.1-1 zip file has a .sbin and .zup. Use Cisco Systems SBN file opener or another app to launch SBN files. Once installed, you can open all SBN documents.

SBN files store shape information in small rectangles. Each rectangle has properties for spatial queries. The split data and binary format enable faster queries. SBN files are not needed to query shapes as data is in SHP files. Only ESRI software uses SBN format.
SBN files can’t open due to no associated software. Install a program from the list below to open, edit or convert SBN files. Visit the sbn file extension page for more help.
The SBN extension handles binary representation of shape data from SHP files. It speeds up spatial queries on shapefiles. SBNs store an index with SBX files. The SBN format is used only by ESRI software.
