| The proliferation of Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity in the home and office, plus continuing advances in consumer devices and communications technologies provides the foundation for many new types of solutions required by service providers. The most promising way to deliver new integrated solutions is the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). IMS consists of an architectural framework created by 3GPP and is designed to enable real time multimedia services, such as Enhanced Messaging, Multimedia Conferencing, and Video based services. Additionally, IMS is not limited in its adoption and deployment to mobility access technologies.
IMS addresses the issue of fractured technologies and proprietary products by enabling quick and efficient delivery of new revenue bearing features through a standards based network and services infrastructure. Moreover, IMS enables new services to be introduced quickly through the use of a standards based service creation and service delivery environment.
To demonstrate the capabilities that can be realized through an IMS implementation, HP has assembled all the current components into the OpenCall IMS Experience Center, an in-house IMS-compliant environment that can be used by HP and their customers to identify, prototype, integrate, and demonstrate the core set of HP OpenCall and selected partner technologies required to support innovative IMS solutions. |
| A basic platform of HP's OpenCall and HP partners products referenced on the IMS service platform is available now with more products available in 2005. Within the service platform plane, HP partners will add service platforms, such as, applications servers, and OSA/Parlay gateways. These platforms may include OpenCall enabling technologies, such as, protocol stacks and other HP OpenCall assets. These service platforms can be used to develop, host, and deploy IMS services.
