PALO ALTO, California, February 15 -- Aricent, a full-service, full-spectrum communications software company, today announced the launch of its IMS super-suite of IP Multimedia Subsystem software services and products. Aricent is the first company to deliver IMS software relevant to communications equipment manufacturers, device manufacturers and service providers throughout the full define, design and develop process.

"The promise of IMS and the reality have been starkly different," said Manoranjan Mohapatra, president and chief operating officer of Aricent. "The promise of IMS is seamlessly integrated voice, video and data applications. The reality has been restricted deployment due to high complexity and technology fragmentation. We are working with communication equipment manufacturers to rapidly deliver new IMS applications using a single suite of IMS technologies and services that addresses everything IMS from the handset to the core infrastructure."

The Aricent IMS super-suite is powered by an expert team of world-class designers, consultants and engineers. These professionals can take a client's IMS project from user research, to design, development and implementation. Aricent's strategic-creative design company, frog design, envisions the future of IMS applications and Aricent engineers deliver the software that makes it real.

Aricent has developed a full range of software products that accelerate IMS deployment. The Aricent IMS Client Framework and the Aricent IMS Application Development Environment facilitate the creation of compelling new applications for devices in record time. The Aricent IMS Application Server Framework and associated frameworks provide the infrastructure foundation for innovative applications that include over-the-air streaming of video and music, voice over Wi-Fi and presence-enabled gaming. The Aricent Billing Mediation Platform enables service providers to rapidly integrate these new, revenue generating IMS applications into their existing billing systems.
