Mavenir Systems: Virtualized VoLTE And RCS Functions
Description
A conversation with Ian Maclean, Head of Strategy, Mavenir Systems
And VoLTE and RCS is likely to be one of the first components as IMS is one of the functions that operators are likely to virtualize early, because it is more control-plane heavy than other functions. In addition, operators are only at the beginning of their rollout of IMS-based services. Hence, their IMS implementation is less tied to vertically-integrated legacy solutions. Mavenir’s products can be deployed in ATCA or COTS environments, and the operator can transition from one to the other as it prefers.
“We’ve embraced virtualization as a means to implement IMS core network elements, application servers, in a way that provides operators greater flexibility in terms of how they deploy these products into their networks, faster time to market for the introduction of new services, and greater service agility”, Ian Mclean says.
