Soft Switch for China

China Mobile has selected Huawei's advanced GSM soft-switch MSC to build its TMSC plane network, which will cover the network of China Mobile in 31 provinces and branches, and also deal with all the long-distance mobile calls between two branches to save long-distance call transmission resources via IP transmission. It will support '17951' VoIP services of China Mobile simultaneously. The contract includes over 30,000 E1 ports.

Huawei's GSM soft-switch MSC is based on packet switch technology, and adopts advanced technologies; it can be shared by GSM and WCDMA, supports smooth evolution from GSM to WCDMA. Huawei's GSM soft-switch MSC is the new generation of GSM MSC.

Huawei's GSM soft-switch MSC won a contract in the GSM network of AIS in Thailand last year. ETISALAT in UAE and SUNDAY in Hong Kong both selected Huawei's new generation Soft-switch MSC to build their WCDMA networks. And now, more and more operators are beginning to deploy soft-switch MSCs in their GSM networks. This will not only help operators maintain a leading edge in GSM network construction but also save existing investment when they choose to construct 3G networks in the future."
