Motorola Introduces Softswitch-based IP Multimedia Subsystem

Motorola's Global Telecom Solutions Sector (GTSS) introduced an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) that complements its SoftSwitch (MSS) and Push-To-Talk over Cellular (PoC) core product initiatives. The Motorola IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) enables converged voice, data and video applications through standards-based interfaces. It is compliant with 3GPP and 3GPP2 standards for IP Multimedia Subsystems, and supports a variety of 2.5G and 3G wireless access networks, including GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, and CDMA, as well as emerging systems such as IEEE 802.11 WiFi, wireline and enterprise networks.


Motorola said its IMS architecture allows a single application to work across all IP enabled wireless access networks, instead of each one having to be customized to the underlying radio access technology and thereby having limited applicability. http://www.motorola.com
