Wireline/Wireless Integration - IMS for Wireline/Wireless Multimedia Convergence: The Vision, Strategies and Challenges.DUBLIN Dublin, city, Republic of Ireland Dublin, Irish Baile Átha Cliath, county borough (1991 pop. 915,516), Leinster, capital of the Republic of Ireland, on Dublin Bay at the mouth of the Liffey River. , Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c25345) has announced the addition of Wireline/Wireless Integration - 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. for Wireline/Wireless Multimedia Convergence: The Vision, Strategies, and Challenges to their offering. IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem An integrated network for telecommunications carriers that uses the IP protocol as its foundation for packetized voice, video and data. Supporting voice over IP (VoIP) in all its flavors (SIP, H.323, MGCP, etc. ) has become one of the hottest topics in telecommunications Communicating information, including data, text, pictures, voice and video over long distance. See communications. . We believe that IMS is now best viewed as an IP Multimedia System that will provide a unified architecture, end-user devices with IP multimedia capabilities, and the systems integration necessary to provide any IP multimedia services for and between any set of wireline and wireless end-users. This report describes the essence of this IMS vision that will provide the full convergence of services and network architecture, creating a blueprint blueprint, white-on-blue photographic print, commonly of a working drawing used during building or manufacturing. The plan is first drawn to scale on a special paper or tracing cloth through which light can penetrate. for the future of telecommunications. The report provides a simplified description of IMS including the new multimedia services that are enabled, the IMS architectural model An architectural model is a tangible representation of a structure (typically a scale model) built to communicate design ideas to clients, owners, committees, customers, and the general public. , the benefits to service providers and end-users from IMS, and the multiple challenges that service providers face in evolving to this new system. Profiles are provided of the four leading US service providers (BellSouth, SBC (1) (SBC Communications Inc., San Antonio, TX, www.sbc.com) A large, national telecommunications company that grew from a multitude of local and regional companies, including Southwestern Bell, Pacific Bell and Nevada Bell, into a single, unified brand by 2002. , Sprint, Verizon) that operate both wireline and wireless businesses, discussing their perspectives and strategies with respect to evolving to IMS. The overall IMS solutions and early customers of eight leading equipment vendors (Alcatel, Cisco, Ericsson, Huawei, Lucent, Motorola, Nokia, Nortel) are described. The report concludes with an assessment of the current market for IMS and discusses key factors that can stimulate the implementation of IMS networks by service providers.
