Alert) connected Windows XP laptop and a 3G mobile phone. Azaire’s IP Converged Platform and the Movial Connect PC 7.0 client have shown fixed-mobile interworking between and I-WLAN access network and a 3G wireless network.
The demonstration, conducted via TeliaSonera’s dual-mode network, shows how users can securely access and share content over any network, and also demonstrates secure IP access to converged IMS core services and improved users experiences with devices connected through a wireless broadband access network like WiFi.
The Video Share service enables users to share live video and stored content through an IP connection in real time, while also participating in an ongoing circuit switched call. The one-to-one combination service uses a 3GPP-compliant IMS core system and a 3GPP CSI-based solution. It can interoperate between different terminals for peer-to-peer networking, and also between terminals and different IMS core systems.
The Azaire platform allows service providers to offer mobile broadband services via the creation of hybrid networks integrating wide area cellular and IP access networks like WiFi and WiMAX. This enables operators to extend their 2.5G/3G footprints and offer new fixed-mobile convergence services like voice, data and multimedia. The Movial Connect PC 7.0 application offers person-to-person and group VoIP, video telephony, group and contact list management, instant messaging, presence and multimedia sharing. Features include mobile-PC video calls and video share and a number of advanced multimedia communications features.
"This demonstration, utilizing Azaire Networks' IP-CNP and Movial's Connect PC 7.0, brings to life the promise of accessing all services everywhere in a secure fashion," said Dick van der Kwaak, vice president of Azaire Networks' EMEA Region. "Our IP Converged Network Platform enables carriers like TeliaSonera to provide subscribers with seamless and secure access to core IMS services over 3G -WiFi dual networks."
"With Connect PC Video Sharing, operators such as TeliaSonera can now launch IMS based services not only to users of high-end handsets, but to all PC users, enabling them to provide IMS services to a much larger user base. Together with our proven Connect IMS converged clients for PC, Mobile, and other connected devices and Azaire Networks, we can now provide the security and Always Best Connected IMS services that provide the best end user experience," said Victor Donselaar, unit manager of Movial.
