Operators are seeking to cap and replace their legacy core networks to offer a common set of services that will support their fixed line, second generation (2G), third generation (3G) and fourth generation (4G) mobile subscribers. Taqua MobileWorks(TM) ‘IMS Core In A Rack’ allows operators to deliver the industry’s most enhanced set of voice, messaging and presence-based applications today, based on a future proof IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) standards framework. The solution supports existing mobiles over new Femto, Pico and/or Macro Cells to leverage lower cost last mile broadband IP networks, and is compliant with the global Voice over LTE initiative to support service delivery over 4G devices. The same ‘IMS Core In A Rack’ enables the operator to completely replace their wireline Class 4/5 network and deliver advanced converged applications across legacy TDM and IP-based networks.
“We are looking forward to showing our new open standards based IMS Core solution together with Mavenir to the RCA community this week,” said Scott Weidenfeller, CMO of Taqua, LLC. “This solution is the most cost effective and scalable IMS Core solution available and will allow our customers to implement a host of applications for wireless and wireline subscribers at a fraction of the cost of other available alternatives.”
At the heart of the Taqua MobileWorks ‘IMS Core In A Rack’ is the Taqua T7000 Intelligent Switching System (T7000) and the Mavenir mOne(TM) Convergence Platform. Together, the systems enable rapid delivery of mobile VoIP, Converged IP Messaging (CPM) and presence enabled rich communications services. The solution utilizes critical network components including subscriber databases, such as the HLR, and IN services platform to provide service parity across service domains. The system seamlessly integrates with existing messaging core to cap legacy investments and simplify the transition of SMS and MMS to IMS based networks. Combined with the industry’s leading PDSN equipment, the Taqua MobileWorks ‘IMS Core In A Rack’ is a field proven solution that can reduce cost of entry and accelerate enhanced service deployment and provide a smooth transition to a single all-IP voice core for any mobile access including 2G, 3G, WiMAX and LTE. The initial release focuses on the CDMA networks where existing MSCs can be capped and new growth can be served by the Converged IMS Solution.
