SingleCORE@Fixed Communications Solution Huawei’s SingleCORE@Fixed Communications solution helps operators consolidate their convergent core networks simply, safely, and cost-effectively. As an IMS-based solution, it aides the evolution of POTS offerings into diverse broadband-based multimedia services, thus grasping OTT opportunities and strengthening competitiveness for any operator. Challenges Increasing OPEX, decreasing ARPUs and emerging OTT services are pushing fixed operators to renovate their legacy networking and provide broadband-based multimedia services. However, no network renovation would be risk-free – the service integration and consistence should be secured, the project time & resource need to be under control, last but not least, the renovation must be future proofing. Solutions are needed to solve these problems. Our Solutions Huawei’s SingleCORE@Fixed Communications solution brings about a unified, convergent, and future-oriented IP core which can help operators decrease OPEX, expand services, and ensure smooth evolution into IMS Centralized Service (ICS) architecture. Simple deployment and management SingleCORE@Fixed Communication features a unified equipment management system (EMS), as well as service provisioning, a charging gateway (GW), and an ATCA platform, which can all be deployed & managed with ease. Thanks to Huawei’s mature ATCA platform, operators can choose to start small and carry out linear capacity expansions at will. Moreover, the solution provides flexible networking options such as AGCF and SIPMSAN, both are compatible with POTS (V5, H248, and MGCP), ISDN, and PBX access. With its rich experience, proven methodology, comprehensive integration capability, full set tools, and associated services, Huawei is able to ensure simple & timely deployment. Robust services This solution supports full PSTN & IN service inheritance, 150+ types of supplementary services, and enhanced services such as IMS-based IPTV/VoBB, TV RCS for residential subscribers, Convergent Conference, Convergent Centrex, Business Trunking for enterprise users, and RCS (IM, Presence, PGM, number binding, location services) for consumers. Meanwhile, operators who deploy open and standard IMS architecture can leverage their network assets and easy to offer communications as a service (CaaS). Future proofing This solution enables linear capacity expansion and TCO saving – the ATCA blade hardware can be reused in future network evolution and the architecture provides a solid platform for VoLTE access. Applications & Benefits Huawei’s SingleCORE@Fixed Communications solution provides rich multimedia services as well as a platform for timely service deployment, adding great value to broadband networks. Moreover, it helps to improve network management efficiency and ensures smooth evolution, thus reducing OPEX and protecting your investment. As of Q1 2012, more than 139 contracts have been signed (commercial & pilot use) with telecom operators worldwide, including leading operators in Europe, Asia and Latin America.
