Leapstone to Highlight AdvancedTCA-based IMS Solution Framework with HP at Supercomm
IMS Solution Framework that Integrates Leapstone CCE serviceBROKER with HP’s Advanced Open Telecom Platforms Utilizing Intel® Processors Being Shown in Intel’s Booth
Somerset, NJ (PRWEB) June 6, 2005 -- Leapstone Systems, a leading provider of
intelligent service delivery and content management solutions, today announced
that its CCE serviceBROKER has been tested with the HP OpenCall Home Subscriber
Server (HSS) and integrated with HP technology utilizing Intel® building blocks
to create the framework for a truly open IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) solution.
The solution enables service providers to create, deploy and manage synchronized
voice, data, and multimedia applications.
Service providers are looking
to new enhanced services to boost average revenue per user (ARPU). Because the
success of particular services is difficult to predict, service providers need a
dynamic framework which will allow them to offer promising new services quickly,
add resources for successful services as demand increases, and downplay or
remove unsuccessful services easily. IMS is a modular standards-based
environment that uses the Internet Protocol (IP) and the Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP) to give service providers the flexibility they need. Because of
the anticipated heavy usage of IMS infrastructure, the combination of
Leapstone’s CCE serviceBROKER on HP technology utilizing Intel® building blocks
based on AdvancedTCA* promises to provide a robust system environment for IMS
infrastructure deployment.
"The market for IMS solutions is heating up
rapidly," said Paul Shaneck, Leapstone VP Sales & Marketing. “Carriers the
world over are looking for standards-based modular communications platforms that
deliver services such as data, voice over IP, video streaming and video
telephony in a simple cohesive architecture. Leapstone is committed to open IMS
solutions and is delivering key components of this emerging architecture that
provide significant value to our customers."
Leapstone’s CCE
serviceBROKER plays a vital role within an IMS architecture, providing a number
of IMS functions, including subscriber service profile generation, Serving-Call
Session Control (S-CSCF), Service Capability Interaction Manager (SCIM) and
dynamic registration and utilization of subscriber service profiles.
The
CCE serviceBROKER has been integrated and tested with the HP OpenCall HSS which
hosts subscriber data in an IMS environment.
To ensure maximum
flexibility, interoperability and scalability for service providers, the IMS
solution features AdvancedTCA* platforms built on Intel® processors, open source
Linux operating systems, and open protocols and interfaces based on 3GPP and
3GPP2 IMS specifications.
"As the industry moves away from proprietary
architectures, industry standards-based modular communications platforms based
on Intel® building blocks are proving to be the platform of choice for
time-to-market new service delivery,” said Robert Heymann, director,
communications infrastructure market development at Intel. “Leapstone is
delivering on this with its CCE serviceBROKER solution for AdvancedTCA IP
Multimedia Subsystems."
SUPERCOMM, the world's premier annual exhibition
and conference for communications service providers and private network
managers, comes to Chicago's McCormick Place, June 6-9. Those attending
Supercomm may visit the Intel® booth and through a series of demonstrations,
Leapstone, in working closely with industry-leading companies, will show how
their integrated IMS solution will enable easy deployment of real time
multimedia services, such as enhanced messaging, multimedia conferencing, VoIP
and multi-user gaming.
