ITRI announced an IP Multimedia Subsystem
Having long engaged in IP telecom system development, ITRI announced on the 4th of July a complete IP Multimedia System (IMS) service platform that can integrate with WiMAX networks.
As a global standard defined by 3GGPP and ITU, IMS is a service framework for realization of IP multimedia service innovation, from service creation, service deployment, and service provisioning over unified IP networks. WiMAX is expected to bring a great impact on broadband wireless networks and multimedia applications. ITRI recognizes the IMS is a key application platform on WiMAX networks because IMS enables the so-called quadruple play service that offers voice, video, and data communication plus mobility. In addition, the ITRI IMS platform can be also integrated with WiFi and 3G networks.
The WiMAX IMS workshop ITRI held to announce the prototypes to the industry attracted over 100 high level executives and representatives from telecom operators and system integration companies. Some of them have engaged in technology transfer process with ITRI since the event.
ITRI hopes that the IMS technology transfer to the local industry can benefit the developers to provide customized value-added services to end users, while upgrading the technology and service level of the industry.
The ITRI IMS service applications have been developed under mature quality management environment of CMMI Level 3, and have undergone numerous tests to prove its commercial feasibility.
The ITRI IMS service applications highlight a ��𦒈oGoTogether��� system that incorporates location��弎ased system, maps, and Push to Talk over Cellular system(previously developed) , a ��𢜛eShare��� system that enables on-line sharing of pictures and conference presentation files, and a ��嚹V Phone��� that makes a TV work like a video phone.
The core system of the ITRI IMS features high availability, high scalability, and flexible integration with various networks such as WiMAX, Wi-Fi and 3G. All in all, the ITRI IMS service platform offers a total solution including operation support system, element management and data management plus alarm system. It can support both real time and non real time multimedia application services.
