IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem)

IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem). Efficient Migration to IMS-Based Networks

Overview

IMS is a modern, multi-platform solution for building a network core based on IMS architecture, delivering a full range of voice services and easily adaptable to existing network infrastructure.

The IMS solution includes all essential core network elements:

  • Proxy-CSCF
  • CSCF, including Serving and Interrogating CSCF (S/I-CSCF)
  • HSS (Home Subscriber Server)
  • Application Server (AS)
  • Media Gateway (MGW)

IMS is designed to deliver high-quality voice and video services with low latency and high reliability, with support for simultaneous high-speed data transmission during active sessions.

The IMS software suite includes a Dispatching and Control subsystem, enabling voice and video services as part of comprehensive Unified Communications solutions.

While IMS core deployment may require significant initial investment, the use of NFV technology allows operators to launch compact virtual IMS systems using existing resources, significantly reducing costs. The solution fully complies with 3GPP specifications, ensuring a smooth transition to IMS architecture.

Key Benefits
  • Virtualized deployment (cloud / NFV environments)
  • Reduced service launch costs and support for next-generation IP services
  • High performance and multi-scenario flexibility
  • Fixed and mobile network support on a single platform
  • Simultaneous voice and data transmission (All-IP)
  • Flexible licensing models
  • Easy integration with external HSS and GGSN/PGW
  • Advanced administration and maintenance interfaces
