environment
Paris, France - 27 February 2015
The Partnership signed between Orange and Nokia Networks aims at leveraging the
benefits of virtualization applied to IMS (IP Multimedia core network Subsystem)
for the operator business model and network architecture. As part of their joint
'Telco Cloud partnership', Orange and Nokia Networks have achieved one of the
first voice calls in a fully virtualized IMS experimental environment.
This anticipation work is a significant step forward in Orange's strategy to
leverage the power of Cloud and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), targeting
a more agile service launch, self-healing and automated operations for networks.

Nokia's IMS, Open TAS (Telecommunications Application Server) and Subscriber
Data Management, as well as Nokia's ETSI-NFV compliant Cloud Application
Manager.
* This virtualized IMS solution was then used as the control plane to achieve
one of the first voice calls in a fully virtualized IMS experimental
environment.
Noël Foret, Core Network Vice President at Orange, said: "As early leader in
this field, Orange has chosen Nokia Networks as a Telco Cloud and Virtualization
partner as part of an ambitious NFV transformation preparation project. The
findings from this partnership are essential for building Orange's future
network and IT infrastructure, and to prepare for operational transformation
across our operations as a result of NFV."
