Nortel Enhances IMS Portfolio

Nortel has announced IMS portfolio enhancements designed to make it simpler for service providers to offer personalized multimedia services to virtually any device across any network - wireless, wireline or cable.

As part of the company's IMS portfolio enhancements, Nortel is introducing the Wireless Mobility Gateway 6000 (WMG 6000), a key component of its IMS Converged Mobility solution. Compliant to the emerging IMS Voice Call Continuity (VCC) standards, the WMG 6000 is designed to allow service providers to bridge 3G wireless networks and WLAN networks to provide a more seamless and secure communication experience for consumers and enterprise users. The IMS Converged Mobility solution provides added presence and advanced telephony features such as caller ID, call waiting, call hold, click to call, call screening and routing, SMS and IM interworking.

Nortel's IMS Converged Mobility solution builds on Nortel's experience across SIP multimedia, VoIP and wireless. It helps service providers to deliver more highly-reliable and secure communications seamlessly across all networks while maintaining a truly personalized experience for such IMS-based services as video calling, video conferencing, instant messaging and multimedia - all from one device and one phone number. It also is designed to make it possible for service providers to manage subscriber information across multiple access networks more effectively, resulting in one consolidated bill for subscribers.

Nortel's IMS Converged Mobility solution utilizes the WMG 6000 and the AS 5200 multimedia application server, both running on Nortel's IMS-compliant core. It leverages third party clients, increasing the range of supported devices and speeding the adoption of the solution.

Nortel's initial release of its IMS Converged Mobility product enhancements are expected to be available in the second half of 2006.

Nortel's IMS solution is access-aware and supports 3GPP (IMS), 3GPP2 (MMD), Packet Cable 2.0 and TISPAN standards.
