World’s First Commercial IMS VCC Solution
See below for the rest of today's 3G news from 3G.co.uk
20th November , 2006

China : Huawei Technologies announced the launch of the world’s first commercial IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) VCC (Voice Call Continuity) solution in partnership with E28, a world leading mobile multi-mode smart device solution provider, enabling operators to reap the benefits of Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC).

Huawei’s IMS-based VCC solution allows end-users to switch between different network types, and will accelerate the industry’s evolution towards FMC. The solution is 3GPP compliant and supports a voice connection continuity feature for seamless bidirectional handover between the IMS and Circuit Switched (CS) domains. As a consequence, dual-mode end-users can roam between WiFi/WiMAX hot spots and cellular GSM/CDMA/UMTS networks maintaining perfect quality calls.

”IMS is a fundamental infrastructure for next generation fixed and mobile convergent networks. VCC is one of the key enablers to make FMC a reality.” stated Mr. Zha Jun,Director of Huawei’s IMS product line. “We continually look to develop partnerships with leading vendors throughout the world in order to try and build Huawei’s competitive IMS eco-system.”

Under the partnership, Huawei will deliver all of the network equipment and functionalities, including IMS Core, DTF and DSF of IMS domain, and associated CAMEL application logics in CS domain, while the end-user dual-mode handsets are provided by Huawei's handset partner E28.

“The merger of wireless and Internet is a revolutionary transformation, that we call a ‘Mobile Internet Society’. With this fusion of technologies, we are able to achieve the vision of seamless mobility.” Said Roger I. Kung, founder, Chairman & CEO of E28 Limited. “E28 through successfully collaborating with Huawei, by bringing a commercial IMS VCC solution to mass market enables consumers to experience this seamless mobility.”

Huawei collaborates extensively with numerous ‘best-of-breed’ partners in developing comprehensive and customizable IMS/FMC services and solutions to meet customer needs. Early in 2004, Huawei and its partners built a lab, providing an environment for technology partners and service providers to experience and trial its solutions.
