Tilgin IMS@Home platform makes IMS come true
Tilgin, a leading provider of customer premises equipment for triple play solutions, has announced the launch of a new platform for IP Multimedia Services (IMS). The Tilgin IMS@Home is claimed to be one of the first comprehensive platforms for IMS support in the home.
IMS is hot technology that offers a lot of promise for fixed and mobile operators as they pursue new revenues from Fixed Mobile Convergence and Multimedia services. A lot of focus has been on dual mode handsets and nodes within an evolving IMS infrastructure.
"Major operators and Telco equipment manufacturers around the world are scrambling to launch their support for IMS at different levels. A critical success factor in this equation is the customer premises equipment and we've got a solution that is creating big interest", says Jan Werne, CEO at Tilgin.
In cooperation with a number of leading eco system partners, Tilgin is developing an IMS-client platform that builds new service revenues. In the home, this could translate into mobile and wireless phones, computers, and home consumer devices like TVs and media servers all integrating and sharing applications.
With Tilgin IMS@Home, the CPE becomes an integrated component in a provider's network and plays a critical role in end-to-end IMS solutions. The CPE bridges the Wide Area Network (WAN) with the Local Area Network (LAN) and provides integrated service capabilities with application and control layer components within the provider's network.
"We are actively working with a number of leading vendors of fixed and mobile solutions to help them with their IMS deployments. The Tilgin IMS@Home platform contributes critical CPE functionality for these end-to-end IMS deployments," says Jan Werne, CEO at Tilgin.
The Tilgin IMS@Home platform includes key IMS client capabilities within an evolving portfolio of Tilgin IMS-aware CPE. The platform leverages functionality that has been traditionally provided in Tilgin's home gateways and IP set-top boxes, which is now further enhanced to provide must-have capabilities for new IMS-based services.
Key functionality in the Tilgin IMS@Home platform is:
- Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) capabilities that include advanced support for managed QoS and WLAN for data traffic and dual mode phones
- IMS SIM (ISIM) functionality for integrated and seamless AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) for secure and personalized communications and entertainment
- IMS proxy for seamless connectivity and communications with non-IMS devices in the home
- Strong encryption of all signaling and payload traffic with IMS nodes
"Our comprehensive experience of toll-quality VoIP, IPTV and centralized management solutions provides us with a clear advantage. We are harmonizing this technology and more into a new IMS@Home platform that we build into our CPE portfolio," says Peter Galyas, CTO at Tilgin.
The platform will be presented at the Broadband World Forum in Paris in October 2006.
