The IMS architecture enables network operators to converge voice, video and other multimedia services to deliver innovative and compelling bundled solutions to consumers. Designed to standardise the delivery of IP services, IMS defines a standard that is distributed and supports interoperability among network components. Accordingly, solutions must allow service providers to seamlessly and cost-effectively migrate to the evolving IMS standards while maximising the return on their network investment by delivering converged multimedia services over their existing network.

The Mobilis IMS based softswitch is a multiple application platform supporting next generation networks voice, data and video applications.

New infrastructure equipment and software must support the full range of telephone network standards, including signalling protocols such as SS7 or ISDN and international signalling variants, and various physical interfaces such as T1 and E1. It must also support data networking protocols such as Internet protocol, or IP, and asynchronous transfer mode, or ATM, as well as telephony protocols such as SIP, SIP-I, SIP-T, MGCP and H.323. Infrastructure solutions must also seamlessly integrate with service providers’ existing operations support systems.

The Mobilis solution architecture supports all the key industry standards for telecommunications, communications and IP.

The convergent services architecture enables Mobilis applications to work in the “old world” TDM, circuit switching based networks and the “new world” packet or IP centric networks. Mobilis software applications are network and device agnostic.

Mobilis solutions are based on open systems architecture. Mobilis products run on off the shelf hardware from proven telecommunications carrier suppliers. The core operating system is based on Red Hat Linux Enterprise and the Database is Oracle. Mobilis platforms are NEBS (Network Equipment Building System) compliant.
