Huawei Releases the Industry-first FMC IMS Solution: IMS 3.0

Huawei Technologies has announced the commercial introduction of its IP Multimedia Subsystem 3.0 solution that provides an open architecture for the development of multimedia services.

Facing the challenges of intense competition and limited innovation of new services, Huawei IMS 3.0 is a solution that many carriers are looking for. Huawei IMS 3.0 solution is the first commercial Fixed/Mobile Convergence solution in the industry that complies with both 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project ) and TISPAN (Telecoms & Internet converged Services & Protocols for Advanced Networks), and provides an open architecture over which service providers, platform providers, and terminal providers can work together to introduce diversified multimedia services. With the solution, carriers can create a subscriber-focused architecture based on FMC and CT-IT convergence, which opens up network and service capabilities, and promotes a healthy environment for IMS applications.

Based on a common hardware and software platform, Huawei IMS solution can help simplify the network deployment process and decrease capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operating expenditures (OPEX) for carriers. Huawei and its partners have released scale commercial use of services, such as voice call continuity (VCC), IP Centrex, and Blended Services. These services can help carriers accelerate their steps from the existing network to a FMC network smoothly, protect customers' investment efficiently. The VCC service in particular takes the lead in realizing bi-directional senseless handover. The guarantee of quality of service and unified session control and user database will bring a high quality experience to subscribers, which is different from traditional internet service.

Huawei has been promoting the IMS industry chain, together with over 100 industry-leading partners in service, platform, access and terminal domains. In December, 2004, Huawei established joint labs with a number of partners, providing an environment for interoperability tests and service experience and delivering competitive solutions for carriers.

Huawei has always been working on migration to All-IP network. In 2003, Huawei released V3 for its softswitch in Geneva, igniting core network's migration toward an All-IP network.Over the past three years, Huawei has deployed over 800 softswitch-based networks, helping over 100 carriers with their All-IP goals. And now, the release of IMS 3.0 solution is a giant leap in the FMC evolution.
