Compunetix Charts Course to IMS Integration
MONROEVILLE, Pa., Nov. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Compunetix once again demonstrates its industry leadership and foresight as they release their innovative roadmap to IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) interoperability. Based on the award-winning CONTEX(R) audioconferencing technology, the CONTEX Summit(R) media processor is a powerful stand-alone collaboration solution designed to work within the IMS environment as it grows in both adoption and scope.
IMS was initially developed to converge the wireless network with wireline infrastructure and features a distributed, layered approach to application deployment as opposed to the single purpose service model that has previously been the industry standard. The sub-network architecture will support every type of communications session, including VoIP, instant messaging (IM), push-to-talk, videoconferencing, and video-on-demand. The CONTEX Summit media processor fits into the IMS layers as they are currently defined and will function as a media resource function provider (MRFP) in the control layer of the IMS architecture in future releases. Compunetix CONTEX Summit customers benefit from the system's ability to easily migrate from PSTN to VoIP - and with IMS integration - to rapidly create new services utilizing its open Application Program Interfaces (APIs) which assures application continuity. Applicable communication protocol standards for IMS will be fully supported on the CONTEX Summit as they are ratified and adopted.
In addition to supporting these evolving IMS standards, Compunetix continues to support and evolve its own collaboration APIs and conferencing applications for the CONTEX Summit media processor. Customers will have several system options: a fully integrated turnkey conferencing solution, the media processor, or applications from Compunetix.
With the CONTEX Summit, Compunetix will offer a complete turnkey solution for the IMS platform, both today and into the future. All Compunetix hardware and software has unmatched reliability and is backed by award-winning 24x7x365 service and support - invaluable in a new technology environment.
Mr. Dan Watkins, Director of Product Engineering states, "The IMS architecture is an emerging technology supported, endorsed, and adopted by the standard bodies. Compunetix recognizes the value of this technology and has the ability to work with customers to identify how IMS can further business objectives with rapid and differentiating service deployment."
