ZTE to Launch IMS 6.0 Solution for LTE Networks(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Shenzhen, China - ZTE Corporation ("ZTE") (H share stock code: 0763.HK / A share stock code: 000063.SZ), a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, today announced the launch of its next generation IMS 6.0 solution. ZTE's IMS solution is based on operators' feedback and designed to meet the requirements of next generation networks such as LTE. With increased consumer demand for ubiquitous high-bandwidth services, operators are looking to provide users with higher performance, greater bandwidth and broader network coverage while maintaining control of revenue. ZTE's IMS 6.0 solution offers a variety of multimedia solutions critical to deploying a successful LTE network: Converged Conference, Tele-presence, Surveillance, Gaming, Streaming and Rich Communication Suite (RCS). ZTE's IMS 6.0 solution also provides enhanced policy-based resources and charging control functionality to alleviate issues associated to increased traffic. It supports user-based and service-based QoS policy controls. Flexible QoS policy control enhances the value of every byte to guarantee high service quality and user experience. For fixed and full-service operators, the evolution of the traditional fixed network has become a focus, since legacy switches have high maintenance costs and are not able to support new services. ZTE's IMS 6.0 solution offers an enhanced version of ZTE's ZXUN xAGCF (Access Gateway Control Function), which is the core network element in the PSTN/ISDN emulation. ZXUN xAGCF supports a variety of legacy interfaces including POTS, V5, ISDN BRI / PRI, H.323, and supports the seamless integration of current OSS/BSS, integrating with existing services and providing a consistent user experience. "The overall objective of next-generation network construction is to build a unified network," said Wang Xiaoqiang, general manager of ZTE's IMS product line. "This phase will bring collaborative development in network scale, security, mobility, management, quality of service, and service innovation. ZTE's IMS 6.0 solution deploys some of the most cutting-edge technologies - cloud computing and distributed design - to reduce network complexity, improve system robustness and increase the efficiency of building networks with the lowest possible TCO to go through the critical transformation period." ZTE is one of the few vendors to provide end-to-end IMS solutions. In 2009, ZTE successfully placed the world's first ICS (IMS Centralised Services) call with the industry's first commercial IMS-based high definition (HD) video conferencing system. As one of the global leading IMS suppliers, ZTE ranks first with large-scale commercial deployments in the Chinese market, and has established extensive cooperation with leading European and American operators.
