Convergence / IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)

Convergence/IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)

Maintain network profitability, transform your business and capitalize on your customers’ demand for more sophisticated and compelling services.

Telecommunications business models are struggling to keep pace with increasing service demand. With subscribers expecting rich multimedia services and competition eroding prices, the old business models need to be updated. IMS core opens the possibility to either compete or integrate with over-the-top (OTT) application providers.

Moreover IMS paves a smooth evolutionary path towards an all-IP core and is the core controller of choice for long term evolution (LTE) networks offering voice and multimedia services.

Our convergence/IMS products will help you to:

  • Optimize your existing network to improve margins on voice traffic, enhance user experience and prepare for a smooth migration to IP
  • Evolve and converge your network to deliver voice and multimedia services with a very short time-to-market and in a cost-effective way
  • Monetize your subscriber relationships with an open, subscriber-centered architecture built for the needs of mobile, fixed and converged networks
  • Manage internet traffic to cost-effectively deliver broadband services across all-IP networks and maximize performance
  • Reduce the risk by providing a well tested end-to-end solution

IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) offers the standardized, future-proof network architecture with open interfaces guaranteeing interoperability in multivendor environments and smooth evolution with maximum reuse of existing network gear.

We provide an evolutionary path from mobile soft switching (MMS) to IMS within the same Open Core system.

Our IMS products are easy to implement due to pre-integration with best-of-breed third-party products and include the most flexible routing and adaptation mechanisms on the market.
