Nokia Highlights Fixed/Mobile Convergence Opportunities

Nokia is launching a new consultancy service, End-User Services Consulting, to help service providers profit from the convergence of mobile and fixed-line networks. At the Nokia Mobility Conference in Monaco, the company is demonstrating Video Sharing, a new multimedia service that allows 3G mobile terminal users to share a live camera view while speaking on the mobile. Video Sharing is enabled by the commercially available Nokia IP Multimedia Subsystem implemented in the core network infrastructure. Nokia is ready to implement such end-to-end solutions with open interfaces in collaboration with operators and service providers.



Nokia is also demonstrating a network-based content business solution to expand content business beyond ringing tones and logos. The solution is based on the Nokia Intelligent Content Delivery, with advanced functions like service barring, multiple wallets, cost control, revenue sharing and sponsoring to fulfill business requirements for highly-segmented services and continuously renewed mobile content.



Nokia noted that following the industry's first commercial implementation of 3GPP Release 4 MSC Server System, it has already delivered its MSC Server System to 20 customers. On the packet core side, the Nokia IP Multimedia Subsystem has numerous trial installations to date and up to four commercial contracts. Nokia's Intelligent Content Delivery solution has been delivered to over 30 operators worldwide, while 19 operators so far are implementing Nokia's Push to talk over Cellular solution for their commercial push to talk service. http://www.nokia.com
