Aricent, the full-service, full-spectrum communications software
company, today announced its new IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)
Convergence Lab. The state-of-the-art Convergence Lab provides an
unmatched, end-to-end IMS testing environment spanning the entire
field of services, applications, end-user devices and infrastructure
equipment.
The Aricent IMS Convergence Lab empowers communications equipment
manufacturers to conduct end-to-end testing in a controlled
environment. The lab setup emulates the entire IMS architecture and
demonstrates Aricent's ability to conduct performance testing in
heterogeneous access networks, with multi-protocol implementations and
fixed-mobile convergence services. The lab also enables communications
service providers to address issues such as performance, latency,
voice quality, retransmission, security, QoS, and policy, enabling a
seamless migration of their infrastructure to IMS.
"Aricent now offers an unmatched IMS testing environment, in
addition to our super-suite of IMS software products and services,"
said Ajay Gupta, vice president of the wireless and convergence
strategic business unit, Aricent. "With our IMS Convergence Lab we cut
the risk for both equipment manufacturers and service providers, and
slash their time-to-revenue."
Aricent recently joined the IMS Forum and will be participating at
the IMS Plugfest(TM) III, October 15-19 at the University of New
Hampshire.
