Mavenir Systems Forms Partnership with Ericsson in the UK
Mavenir Systems announced today it has formed a partnership
agreement with Ericsson in the UK to extend the communications
leader's Fixed Mobile Convergence and Low Power GSM offerings. The
addition of Mavenir System's mOne(TM) allows customers to utilize and
link existing circuit switched , IP, Unlicensed Mobile Access and WiFi
SIP devices to a rich multimedia service set provided by Ericsson's
IMS solution.
The leader in the IMS market, Ericsson currently has 30 IMS
contracts for commercial launch and more than 60 additional trials
throughout the world in GSM/GPRS, WCDMA and wireline implementations.
As a result of the new partnership, Mavenir's mOne solution and the
Ericsson BSC and MSC, UNC and IMS platforms will allow operators to
offer multimedia services across mobile, FMC and fixed domains with
seamless session handover between the domains.
Mavenir's mOne solution enables IMS across all available devices
so that operators can interconnect any access with any network and
service. Existing and next-generation networks that can be utilized
and linked include 2G, 3G and 4G. With mOne, multimedia services can
be deployed over mobile and fixed domains such as fixed broadband,
WiFi, EVDO, UMTS and 2G-, 3G- and SIP, VCC and UMA-enabled devices.
Ultimately, consumers and enterprises will be able to control their
services, choosing when, where and on what device they receive voice,
video and communication services with seamless continuity and optimum
network delivery.
The two companies are actively promoting the joint solution in the
market to key service providers in the UK.
"In working with Ericsson UK, Mavenir is helping operators reap
the benefits of IMS such as differentiated services to increase
revenue, improve customer stickiness and cost optimization," said
Pardeep Kohli, chief executive officer for Mavenir Systems. "The
overall result of our collaboration is delivery of the multimedia
services the consumer wants on any device and a convergence standard
the industry demands."
"By adding Mavenir's mOne, we're able to expand our IMS solution
set and offer new ways for operators to provide multimedia services
seamlessly across domains and devices," said Jacqueline Hey, managing
director, Ericsson UK. "We look forward to Ericsson customers
benefiting from this strategic approach, and the future opportunities
it creates for next-generation service delivery."
