Equity [Abstract]
COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES	COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES In the second quarter of 2019, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program") pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $75 million of its common stock prior to April 18, 2021. Repurchases under the Repurchase Program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate discretion. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Board's discretion. The stock repurchases are being funded using the Company's working capital. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company spent $4.5 million, including transaction fees, to repurchase and retire 1.0 million shares of its common stock under the Repurchase Program. At December 31, 2019, the Company had $70.5 million remaining under the Repurchase Program for future repurchases. The Company had previously implemented a stock repurchase program (the "Sonus Repurchase Program"), which Ribbon did not assume in connection with the Merger. The Company did not repurchase any shares under the Sonus Repurchase Program during the year ended December 31, 2017.
