Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has signed a key contract with TELUS for the development
and deployment of an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), the foundation for
communication services over LTE and other accesses. The implementation of
Ericsson's IMS technology will enable TELUS to offer advanced, convergent
services in voice, data and video calling over both wireline and wireless
networks to customers across Canada.
As a global leader in network convergence solutions, Ericsson's IMS will allow
TELUS to leverage the latest telecommunications developments, equipping the
Canadian carrier with the most innovative technology.
The continued consolidation of TELUS' wireless and fixed systems will strengthen
its framework for the agile delivery of core telecommunications services,
further enhancing its consumer experience. With more than 12 million customer
connections TELUS' customers will have the ability to access a variety of
multimedia functions and applications including High Definition voice,
management across multiple devices, and video calling over LTE.
Eros Spadotto, executive vice-president, Technology Strategy and Operations,
TELUS says: "We have a relentless focus on delivering to Canadians world-class
entertainment and communication experiences. Harnessing the power of IMS
technology is something we're very excited about as it will enable us to offer
next-generation solutions that transform the way our customers live, work, and
play".
Fredrik Alatalo, executive vice-president and general manager for Ericsson in
Canada says: "We are excited to collaborate with TELUS in the deployment of the
latest technologies in IMS, providing Canadian consumers with enhanced
multimedia applications. IMS enables operators to offer a range of new and
enhanced services to their customers at an affordable cost."
IMS is a cost-efficient system that will enable TELUS to generate new revenue
streams through differentiated services based on the Rich Communication Services
(RCS) and Voice over LTE (VoLTE).
Ericsson has signed over 110 commercial IMS contracts worldwide, of which around
70 are in commercial operation, establishing the company as the world's most-
experienced IMS partner.
