more abundant services, including IP Centrex, VMS, VPABX, Home Zone, Video
Conference, Instance Messaging and Presence Services (IM/PS), File Transfer,
and Image Sharing.
“To identify immense pressure on operators from the
industry competition; ZTE is committed to offering differentiated services that
will build up their competitive advantages. This IMS application realizes the
combination of abundant services with easy use offering improved access to both
phone calls regardless of location and the significant savings on the expense
of making international and otherwise expensive calls,” said Xu Ziyang, vice
president of ZTE.

and trial IMS deployments officially launched around the globe , with
scores of commercial networks deployed in such countries as Italy, Poland,
