Telecom Lead China: Chinese telecom gear maker ZTE
Corporation has announced its IMS -based 4-net convergence voice solution at
the IMS World Forum in Madrid.
The solution supports one number service [voice/SMS] and
seamless voice switchover in GSM, WCDMA, LTE or WiFi networks. Subscribers can
use a single number to answer a call or receive an SMS in various Radio Access
Network scenarios.
ZTE’s IMS- based 4-net convergence voice solution
focuses on improving operators’ competitive position with regards to LTE
network operation by providing a multi- network voice solution that promises a
high quality voice experience that is scalable across multiple platforms
benefiting both the operator and end-user alike,” said Liu Jianhua, ZTE Core
Network Product CEO.
The gear maker said that convergence is becoming ever more
valued and in order to cater the emerging demand, ZTE has launched a carrier-grade
solution; the IMS- based 4-net (GSM/ WCDMA/LTE/WiFi) convergence voice
solution.
With this solution, operators can provide voice
communication with a higher quality than internet voice services such as Google
voice and Skype but additionally they are also using the advantages of
multi-network convergence to provide richer voice services, such as One Number
multi-access and real-time voice switchover (DRVCC, SRVCC).
ZTE’s IMS solution supports seamless access for all
network types, provides a targeted mature solution for the enterprise and
individual subscribers, supports operator deployment of various multimedia
convergence services, and facilitates operators working towards LTE.
The solution fully adapts to operators’ requirements
around full service development and network convergence evolution.
At the end of 2011, ZTE had signed more than 140
IMS commercial/trial contracts with global operators, and deployed scores of
commercial networks in Italy, Poland, Spain, Turkey, Albania, Saudi Arabia,
Philippine, Singapore, India and the USA among others.
