Ericsson in Telenor IMS contractEricsson has Wednesday announced an agreement with Telenor in Sweden to build an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem)-based network in Sweden, including IMS-based IP Centrex.This will be the first commercial converged IMS network in Sweden for the enterprise market.
The Ericsson IMS multimedia telephony system will provide new, value-added services to Telenor Sweden’s network, with the main focus on a fixed and mobile converged IP Centrex application targeting enterprise customers in the first phase.
In the coming phases, Telenor and Ericsson intend to jointly develop the Swedish market up to a leading position in the area of converged services based on IMS, for both enterprises and consumers.
The solution will be a first step in enabling Telenor to utilize their network capabilities for all their Swedish operations, including Bredbandsbolaget and Glocalnet, in an efficient way. The solution incorporates a new way to integrate IMS solutions with a number of businesses by utilizing Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) principles.
Ericsson will be the prime supplier of the IMS system and system integration services for Telenor Sweden. Delivery has started and the network commercial launch is planned for later in 2007.
