The goal is to have a handset that switches automatically from the cellular network to the local, wireless Wi-Fi network when entering a building in order to save cellphone minutes. and service interaction solutions, announced today its Accolade convergence SCIM SCIM Smart Common Input Method SCIM Service Capability Interaction Manager (3GPP) SCIM Sample Collection for Investigation of Mars SCIM Spinal Cord Independence Measure SCIM Standard Cubic Inches per Minute (Service Capabilities Interaction Management) platform now provides new functionality for wireline carriers with networks that contain both legacy and next generation equipment. The Accolade's new capabilities allow connectivity of softswitches and 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. Call Session Control Functions (CSCF CSCF Call Session Control Function CSCF Canadian Ski Coaches Federation CSCF Centre Suisse de Cartographie de la Faune (Neuchâtel, Switzerland) CSCF Call State Control Function (3GPP) ), with existing legacy services. These new features represent an important milestone in evolving service provider networks to IMS, and removing the borders between fixed and mobile networks. Among the typical legacy services that can now be extended towards IMS include Toll Free Calls; Local Number Portability "LNP" redirects here. For the airport in Virginia with that IATA code, see Lonesome Pine Airport. For the compound InP, see Indium phosphide. Local number portability, (LNP) for fixed lines, and full mobile number portability ; Calling Name Data Base; and Information Data Base. The SCIM function within the IMS architecture enables interaction between IMS service platforms. The Convergin Accolade solution extends SCIM beyond the IMS domain, allowing convergence between legacy and next generation networks, as well as wireless and wireline networks. Carriers that roll out VoIP networks can use Convergin's SCIM capabilities to deliver the same services as in their existing legacy networks. In addition, ILECs which host legacy services can expand their offering to host services for CLECs, MSOs, or VoIP-based Long Distance operators. "We see a strong demand to provide core network solutions for service providers that are running mostly legacy services and also want to seamlessly deliver the same services to the recently-deployed next generation networks," said Dr. Ayal Itzkovitz, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

Convergin's Accolade platform allows SIP and IMS platforms to issue SIP queries towards Legacy wireline AIN/INAP services, enabling operators' SS7 services to be delivered not only to the SS7/TDM switches, but also to next generation softswitches and IMS/SIP CSCFs. Using Convergin's SCIM, operators not only enable SIP access to their existing legacy SCP-based services, but can also control the access to those services from various switching platforms and service providers. Service providers that deploy Convergin's Accolade platform for legacy services can later use the platform to enhance their service offerings to permit SIP-based services and SIP/IMS Application Servers for legacy and next generation networks. Convergin is a leading provider of solutions at the network core for Service Continuity and Orchestration that facilitate a stepwise migration for operators to IMS. Its Accolade platform is the leading solution for core network convergence, deployed in the core of wireline and wireless service providers. Convergin solutions can be purchased via Convergin's VARs and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it.
