Sonus Leverages Expertise as Founding Member of IMS Forum

TMCnet News


Sonus Networks, Inc. announced that the Company will leverage its expertise as a leader in IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) solutions as a founding member of the IMS Forum, formerly the International Packet Communications Consortium (IPCC). The mission of the IMS Forum is to accelerate the adoption of IMS by providing an environment for discussion and resolution of real-world implementation issues, such as interoperability and standards-based architectures in the application layer.

As a founding member of IMS Forum, Sonus will collaborate with industry-leading service providers, application developers, system integrators and government agencies to help bridge the gap between the development of IMS frameworks and the creation of revenue-generating services. Sonus, which has been honored with a number of industry accolades as a result of its leadership in IMS, including Frost & Sullivan's 2006 IP Communication Carrier Infrastructure Technology Innovation & Leadership of the Year Award, brings the Forum extensive experience in the development and deployment of some of the largest VoIP networks in the world that adhere to the principles that govern today's IMS protocols. Since its inception, Sonus adopted a SIP-based distributed architecture, which is closely aligned to IMS with session control, border management, applications and management layers. The Company also founded the Open Services Partner Alliance (OSPA), the industry's largest interoperability program to develop a broad portfolio of SIP-based applications including messaging, conferencing, IP Centrex, etc.
“The universal adoption of IMS across all types of service providers and application developers around the globe provides a tremendous opportunity to reshape how we think about communications,” said Steve Edwards, Chief Marketing Officer, Sonus Networks. “Sonus has been a leading innovator in the VoIP industry and a strong advocate for standards-based interoperability. Our team has some of the deepest knowledge in the industry, and we're proud to leverage that expertise as a founding member of the IMS Forum working to promote the adoption of IMS protocols.”
 
“Since the Company's founding, Sonus has been focused solely on the development of carrier-class VoIP solutions, and as a founding member of the IMS Forum, Sonus' contributions will be invaluable in our efforts to promote IMS as the foundation for the next generation of communications networks,” said Michael Khalilian, chairman and president, IMS Forum.
The Sonus IMS solution builds on the proven benefits of Sonus' architecture, which supports more than 17 billion minutes of traffic per month. Key components in the Sonus IMS solution include the GSX™ family Open Services Switch (MGCF, P/I-CSCF), PSX™ Call Routing Server (BGCF), SGX™ Signaling Gateway (SGW), ASX™ Call Management Server (SIP-AS) and Insight™ Management Systems.
