BridgePort Networks' IMS Voice Call Handover between GSM and Wi-Fi Networks Now Supported by 15 Handsets.BARCELONA -- BridgePort Networks, the leader in MobileVoIP convergence, announced gathering momentum in its Device Developers' Program. At last year's 3GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) A digital cellular phone technology based on TDMA that is the predominant system in Europe, but also used worldwide. Developed in the 1980s, GSM was first deployed in seven European countries in 1992. World Congress, the company showcased the world's first live IMS (1) See IP Multimedia Subsystem. (2) (Information Management System) An early IBM hierarchical DBMS for IBM mainframes. IMS was widely implemented throughout the 1970s under MVS and continues to be used under z/OS. seamless voice call handover n. 1. The act of relinquishing property or authority etc. to another; as, the handover of occupied territory to the original posssessors; the handover of power from the military back to the civilian authorities s>. between GSM and Wi-Fi networks See wireless Ethernet and 802.11. , compliant with the technical requirements for 3GPP's Voice Call Continuity standard (VCC An electronics designation that refers to voltage from a power supply connected to the "collector" terminal of a bipolar transistor. In an NPN bipolar (BJT) transistor, it would be +Vcc, while in a PNP transistor, it would be -Vcc. ). Later, on May 31, 2006, the company formally launched its Developers' Program for Fixed-Mobile Convergence Device and Client Software Vendors, to help speed interoperability of dual mode cellular-Wi-Fi handsets with BridgePort Networks' NomadicONE core network product family for both pre-IMS and IMS networks that implements seamless handover. Today BridgePort Networks is announcing that 15 current GSM/Wi-Fi or UMTS/Wi-Fi dual mode handsets are interoperable and support seamless voice call handover between networks with the NomadicONE product family. Additionally at the current time, five more devices are planned to be supported during 2007. The list of interoperability partners addresses dual mode handsets from three of the top four global handset suppliers. Current partners include, but are not limited to: E28, Paragon Wireless, PCTEL and PicoMobile. Many of these devices are being demonstrated at 3GSM World Congress by BridgePort Networks' partners, either publicly or in private meetings.
