Ericsson wins IMS contract with ArmenTel in Armenia

16/02/2008

Ericsson has been selected by ArmenTel, VimpelCom’s operator in
Armenia, as the supplier and systems integrator of an IP Multimedia
Subsystem solution that will deliver a next-generation network,
supporting integrated fixed and mobile services.

Under the agreement, Ericsson will transform ArmenTel’s existing
fixed network into an IMS-based, fixed and mobile convergent network.

The deal includes Ericsson systems integration services of required
IP-platforms and applications to enable convergent IMS service
offering, such as IP telephony and multimedia services to consumers
and business customers.

IMS-based services enable personalized communication through various
media such as voice, text, pictures and video. Ericsson’s IMS
solution is an end-to-end offering for fixed and mobile operators. It
supports the introduction of flexible and scalable advanced services
across a range of end user devices, while helping operators leverage
their existing investments.

IMS also represents the evolution of converged mobile and
fixed-control networks to all-IP, providing flexibility to support
broadband services.
