BayPackets Tunes Network Services Platform for IMS

BayPackets has extended the capabilities of its Agility Network Services Platform (NSP) to incorporate the 3GPP (IP Multimedia Subsystem) IMS standard. In addition to support of SS7 and SIP, the Agility NSP supports wireless protocols including WIN and CAMEL and interfaces with network-based location and presence servers. BayPackets' converged platform integrates with wireless service providers' presence and location servers, enabling carriers to deliver real-time and location-based services. For example, a mobile operator could route calls to a person's home, work, cell or desktop soft phone, depending upon where the subscriber is located.



BayPackets said its Agility NSP, which enables PSTN connectivity through an SS7 interface and next-generation connectivity through a SIP interface, could be deployed as a next-generation Service Control Point (SCP) or as an application server in a carrier's network. The platform's service creation environment also enables carriers to use JAIN and Parlay and develop and deploy their own advanced services that work on wireless, VOIP, and TDM networks. Additionally, the Agility NSP supports deployments of third-party applications across carrier networks. http://www.baypackets.com
