IMS Integration Solution Huawei IMS Integration Solution can help operators solve problems in IMS network deployment, rapidly deploy IMS network, securely and smoothly transform to the IMS network from the traditional PSTN network, and quickly explore growth in new IMS services. Challenges With development of All-IP-based and mobile networks, traditional telecom carriers are facing a variety of challenges. Because the market competition is increasingly fierce, users grow at a lower speed. The baseline of the rate is destroyed repeatedly. Emerging free services such as IM also take the place of voice service that many operators have been relying on, resulting in constant decline in profitability. In addition, deploying new services is expensive in the traditional network structure. That also leads to lower service update and difficulty in attracting new users to form new profit growth. Finally operators face problems like exploding labor requirements, difficult interconnection, and O&M cost pressure during network transformation. Our Solution As the recognized core network architecture for the next generation fixed and mobile convergence (FMC), IMS is independent of access, open to applications, rich in services, and easy to maintain and deploy. Hence IMS can address the preceding challenges confronted with operators. Traditional operators, however, are lack of experience in network building and deployment. Therefore, Huawei's IMS integration service can exactly meet customer needs. Huawei's IMS integration is an E2E solution that covers the full process – from network planning, network design, terminal integration, billing integration, service integration, and OSS integration in the earlier stage through network deployment in the middle stage to the interfacing test, service NE customization, and network swap in the later stage as well as network optimization, network performance management (NPM), and Managed Services in the O&M stage – to address customized network evolution in various scenarios during IMS deployment. Huawei's IMS integration service can be tailored based on customer needs to create customized customer service solutions. Huawei boasts of a variety of delivery experience, complete delivery system, and professional delivery teams to guarantee rapid and secure delivery. Huawei is competent in project management to guarantee smooth implementation of complicated transfer. Huawei also has powerful supporting platforms to guarantee smooth delivery. Finally Huawei has innovative service methodology to reduce risks and cooperation from any third party. For example, Huawei's smooth signaling point swap service can avoid any risk, third party cooperation, and breakdown. Huawei's automotive cutover tools for PSTN can enable the most security and rapidness and the lowest labor cost. Applications & Benefits Based on Huawei's experience from projects around the world, the IMS integration service can be customized according to customer needs combined with IMS evolution and existing architecture resources. For example, Huawei implemented service integration in the EOT mode for Telekom Malaysia, to help the customer smoothly migrate its PSTN services to the IMS network. In the course of migration, Telekom Malaysia threw its energies into high-end maintenance like business expansion, high-end network O&M, and service monitoring instead of once-off tasks such as new equipment installation, interfacing test, NE customization, and swap. Finally Telekom Malaysia quickly finished controlling and expanding of new network services at a low cost and securely evolved to IMS from PSTN.
