ZTE Launches New Generation Convergence Solution

ZTE Corporation, a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, launched its new-generation IMS-based solution (ZIMS), at the Global NGN Summit 2007 held in Beijing, China.

    ZIMS is a complete end-to-end solution supporting multi-network convergence with an open structure. Its development has been based on the analysis of network development trends and service transformation requirements under new industrial environment faced by operators.

    "Today is the era of broadband and VoIP communications." said Mr. Ye Zheng, Manager of ZTE’s IMS product line. "Transforming into an integrated information service provider and building all-IP based convergence network has now become a strategic necessity for global operators. ZIMS enables the convergence of both fixed and mobile networks, and CT and IT networks, ensuring operators and service providers can continue to offer differentiated services."

    ZIMS covers all the functional modules defined by 3GPP, 3GPP2 and TISPAN. It provides the network equipment for the access layer, bearer layer, control layer, service layer and user data layer, and supports multiple access modes. ZIMS also provides customized ICT convergence solutions based on its open architecture, fully meeting current telecom convergence demands. ZIMS enables multiple FMC services, such as Voice Call Continuity (VCC), and dynamic address book. ZIMS also enables its unique application, Soft Digital Assistant (SoftDA), a converged application which includes instant message, presence, group list management and voice/video/combined conference, amongst others.
