Telenor's next generation communication
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* New frame agreement between Telenor and Ericsson for more cost-efficient
fixed voice production
* Telenor enabled to offer Norwegians personalized and richer telephony
services such as chat, presence, and video communication in the fixed
network
* Transformation to a common all-IP (IMS) core and service platform provides
cost efficiency and prepares the ground for new revenue streams
* Telenor secures a future-proof path for convergence of their mobile and
fixed networks, while preparing for 4G
Imagine a communication service that automatically follows you wherever you go,
and you could see the status of your friends and contacts on any of your phones
and devices and then connect easily to them with voice, video or chat. A service
that lets everyone in the house know that an incoming call was specifically for
you. Well, this can become reality for Telenor's subscribers in Norway thanks to
the new IMS based solution, Multimedia Telephony (MMTel) from Ericsson
(NASDAQ:ERIC).
Telenor, Norway's largest fixed and mobile telecommunications service provider,
is constantly seeking new ways to provide additional value for their customers.
By transforming its fixed network into one IP-based converged network (IMS) and
by gradually migrating all of its subscribers to a common IP-based service
platform, Telenor secures a future service offering with high quality voice and
multimedia services. The platform is also made ready for the introduction of 4G
voice.
Ericsson will, under this contract, also consolidate all mobile and fixed
subscriber data into a centralized user database based on a Data Layered
Architecture (DLA). This will allow Telenor to integrate its fixed and mobile
service offering while providing a flexible service package serving the specific
needs of entire households and businesses.
Robert Puskaric, Head of Region Northern Europe and Central Asia says: "Because
our solution is designed to allow for cost-efficient rich communication, it
provides a future-proof way to consolidate Telenor's existing networks and get
the most out of the new multimedia services entering the market. We are proud to
drive the evolution of the network for an innovative and forward looking
operator like Telenor, starting with the fixed voice services."
Rolv-Erik Spilling, CTO Telenor Norway, explains how the MMTel and IMS solution
first and foremost will modernize the production systems and reduce the cost for
fixed voice services and then also serve as a platform for increase of our
revenues. "By transforming all services to IP-based technology, our subscribers
can over time benefit from richer and more convenient communications; for
example, knowing who is available for a call and having an individual number for
each member of the family. The richer functions will make it possible for us to
create tailor-made offerings for users or groups with very specific and
differentiating needs such as family and business users."
Under the agreement, Ericsson is the sole supplier of the new MultiMedia
Telephony (MMTel) solution in Telenor's fixed network and the prime integrator
of the project. The solution includes an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Core
network, Ericsson's own MMTel Application Server (MTAS) and an Ericsson Data
Layered Architecture solution for consolidating user data.
