Ericsson Wins IMS Contract with Telenor in Sweden
Ericsson has announced an agreement with Telenor in Sweden to build an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem)-based network in Sweden, including IMS-based IP Centrex. This will be the first commercial converged IMS network in Sweden for the enterprise market.
The solution will be a first step in enabling Telenor to utilize their network capabilities for all their Swedish operations, including Bredbandsbolaget and Glocalnet, in an efficient way. The solution incorporates a new way to integrate IMS solutions with a number of businesses by utilizing Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) principles.
Johan Lindgren, CEO Telenor Sweden, says: "IMS is one of the key elements in our migration to an all-IP network, with convergence in both services and network. Also, our customers will benefit significantly from a truly converged experience for fixed, VoIP and mobile. We are happy to continue our strong cooperation with Ericsson on this."
Ericsson will be the prime supplier of the IMS system and system integration services for Telenor Sweden. Delivery has started and the network commercial launch is planned for later in 2007."
