Genband and ZTE Complete IMS Applications Testing
(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
Genband, a developer of next-generation media gateways and application
solutions, and ZTE, a supplier of of telecommunications equipment and
network solutions, announced that they have completed interoperability
testing between the Genband M6 Communication Applications ServerTM and
ZTE's IMS solution, ZIMSTM.
The ZIMSTM is a complete, end-to-end IMS solution supporting
multi-network convergence with an open architecture. It enables the
convergence of both fixed and mobile networks, ensuring service
providers can continue to offer differentiated services. In July 2007,
ZTE announced its IMS product portfolios support the MultiService Forum
(MSF) R3 "NGN Guidelines" and comply with the MSF Release 3
Architecture,
"ZTE is committed to helping operators provide the services that their
end-users demand," said Ye Zheng, general manager of IMS product line
for ZTE Corp. "ZTE has developed an open ecosystem based on standard
interfaces around its truly open IMS application platform, encouraging
best-in-class deployments. Applications are always major drivers of
network evolution and a major source of revenue for operators, and we
believe that the broad feature offerings of Genband's M6 platform
provide critical application solutions needed to meet the needs of
service providers."
Genband's M6 Communication Application Server cost-effectively enables
advanced voice over IP (VoIP) and multimedia applications for business
and residential users. Built for today's legacy, mobile, and IP
networks, as well as future IMS network deployments, the M6 platform is
a carrier-grade, scalable applications server that delivers
revenue-generating multimedia services out of the box.
"It's clear that ZTE's IMS platform is designed with fully open
interfaces, flexible configuration, and standard compliance in mind,
creating an open service creation platform that acts as the catalyst
for the delivery of innovative services," said Keith Landau, executive
vice president of research and development at Genband. "Since both
platforms are built using the IMS architecture, we found that the
combined products create a powerful 'plug and play' environment for
service providers."
Genband and ZTE began interoperability testing last fall. During the
extensive testing, Genband and ZTE verified general interoperability,
application feature sets, and essential IP Centrex services. Both
companies were satisfied with the successful outcome of the testing.
