Huawei releases the industry-first FMC IMS Solution: IMS 3.0

Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (”Huawei”), a leader in providing next generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, today announced the commercial introduction of its IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) 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 (FMC) 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 (QoS) and unified session control and user database will bring a high quality experience to subscribers, which is different from traditional internet service.

“With the deployment of the IMS 3.0 solution, we believe that this open, converged All-IP architecture will become a platform for innovations, through which carriers, consumers and our partners in services, platform and terminal domains will benefit,” said Mr Ding Yun, president of Huawei core network. “Carriers will easily be able to consolidate resources, information and customer requirements, and at the same time continue to release cutting-edge services.”
