TECORE Releases New Line of IMS Network Elements
TMCnet IP Communications Columnist
TECORE Wireless Systems has unveiled its IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) strategy by introducing its product line of IMS network elements. TECORE IMS products leverage the company’s patented multi-technology platform, enabling convergent operation across a number of wireless technologies including cellular and wireless LAN.
The TECORE IMS suite is based on the company’s SoftMSC platform, and employs a Java client-server architecture for consistent management across various nodes of the network while utilizing carrier grade, high availability Linux processing nodes. It also offers a backbone for voice communications and interoperability between a number of wireless technologies, including GSM, CDMA, 3G, WiMAX and WiFi. This enables wireless operators to migrate to fully converged networks for voice, data and multimedia applications.
End-to-end IMS networks solutions are powered by the session initiation protocol (SIP) and are built to 3GPP standards. The new product line may scale from a highly available, distributed deployment controlled from a central site down to enterprise IMS. Access, transport, control and service functionality are implemented as components of the IMS solution. The system also supports both pre-IMS and IMS network services such as push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) and prepaid.
"The evolution to all-IP and multimedia services is presenting challenges to operators around the world", said Jay Salkini, president and CEO of TECORE, "TECORE’s IMS provides a scalable product line that addresses the operators need to implement the value-added services required today, but also accommodates the evolution to the full IMS architecture in the future. The TECORE IMS is compatible for interconnection with incumbent network equipment and expands with multi-technology support. Keeping TECORE’s current customers in mind, this strategy enables current operators with 2G and 2.5G equipment to provide consistent services across their network and bridge services to wireless broadband," said Salkini.
