| Outsmart Signs an Agreement with Siemens AG Outsmart Ltd. has signed a global reseller agreement with Siemens AG. Under the agreement, Siemens will incorporate Outsmart's Mobility Management Application Server (MM-AS) solution into its IMS/FMC solution. Furthermore, the agreement signals the beginning of a relationship in which Siemens will incorporate additional Outsmart IMS applications into its IMS solutions. As IMS continues to penetrate the telecommunication industry, the seamless handoff and voice call continuity solution is critical for users moving between cellular and Wi-Fi coverage areas since it automatically switches an existing call from one network to the other when the wireless signal level drops in one domain. By doing such, the handoff guarantees continuous coverage without dropping the call and also provides coverage from the best network connectivity available. Additionally, the seamless handover allows users to gain IMS access in areas that only provide GSM/CDMA coverage. The MM-AS supports roaming and seamless handover between IMS Domain and CS (Circuit Switched) Domain for Dual Mode handset. The solution is based on the standards bodies 3GPP and 3GPP2 for IMS-controlled call continuity. Accordingly, all calls between Dual Mode handsets must pass through the MM-AS for an eventual handover processing, no matter if a call started in the GSM or the IMS network. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
