The platform operates on both IMS and non-IMS networks, providing a universal gateway to converged services for global operators looking for one platform to support different networks and services. Tested successfully on both IMS and non-IMS networks, the Smart 1.10 platform is suited for global operators who are looking to deploy one platform that supports the networks and services of its multiple subsidiaries.
