IMS

GENBAND Difference

As service providers migrate fixed and mobile networks toward IMS, they need long-term solutions that open new revenue streams, that address network challenges, and that take full advantage of emerging technologies. The GENBAND IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) solution allows telecom service providers to deliver service convergence across both mobile and fixed line networks while driving revenue, cost savings and innovation.

That’s the GENBAND difference.

With a decade of experience building SIP-based and best-in-breed” solutions, GENBAND now offers a rich suite of IMS products for access interworking, border control, and applications.

GENBAND IMS solutions are designed to streamline the migration of existing networks to IMS, to optimize capital and operational expenses, and to support the delivery of popular and profitable voice, video and multimedia services.

Service Provider Benefits

ACCESS INTERWORKING

GENBAND’s unique access interworking solution, based on the market-leading GENBAND C20 Converged Softswitch, allows consumer and business subscribers with analog and IP phones to seamlessly access services from the IMS core.

Leveraging the Access Gateway Control Function (AGCF) on the C20, this robust interworking solution enables existing analog and IP endpoints to be smoothly migrated to obtain advanced and profitable services from the IMS. Service providers can manage this migration easily, on their own timeline, and without touching the individual line.

When combined with GENBAND’s G6 Universal Gateway, the GENBAND access interworking solution with the C20 AGCF also enables the re-use of legacy peripherals and remotes. Service providers can deploy this solution to seamlessly interwork analog TDM line access, and to obtain advanced voice services from the IMS core and from IMS applications servers such as the GENBAND A2 Communications Application Server.

The C20 AGCF access interworking solution also comes with an optional Media Gateway Control Function (MGCF) on the same platform to support the seamless interconnection of IMS network traffic to the PSTN network. This powerful interworking solution also supports flexible regulatory service compliance and deployment.
