Achieving first voice call in a fully virtualized IMS experimental environment
The Partnership signed between Orange and Nokia Networks aims at leveraging the benefits of virtualization applied to IMS (IP Multimedia core network Subsystem) for the operator business model and network architecture. As part of their joint 'Telco Cloud partnership', Orange and Nokia Networks have achieved one of the first voice calls in a fully virtualized IMS experimental environment.
Solution details at a glance:
• Orange's proof of concept of the fully virtualized IMS solution consists of Nokia's IMS, Open TAS (Telecommunications Application Server) and Subscriber Data Management, as well as Nokia's ETSI-NFV compliant Cloud Application Manager.
• This virtualized IMS solution was then used as the control plane to achieve one of the first voice calls in a fully virtualized IMS experimental environment.
