At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2014, Taqua today said Sprint has selected Taqua’s Virtual Mobile Core Solution to enhance subscriber voice and messaging services by leveraging the Wi-Fi network.
Sprint, which is already utilizing Taqua’s Virtual Mobile Core’s Small Cell solution as part of its femtocore, has now implemented Taqua’s VoWiFi solution to enable a transparent user communications experience over the WiFi network.
In both cases, voice and messaging communications are handled by the Taqua Virtual Mobile Core via session internet protocol (SIP) across the broadband network from either the subscriber’s femtocell or now Wi-Fi access.
The Taqua Virtual Mobile Core appears as a MSC/VLR towards the circuit-switched core and delivers complete feature transparency for voice, messaging and supplementary services including single number service. The seamless user experience is maintained by utilizing the subscriber profiles from the legacy cellular infrastructure.
