Outsmart has launched the IMS Multi Access, a new IMS application server which is comprised of three products: the IM-SSF, the IMAF and the CCCF. The new application server mediates between IMS and legacy networks, allowing operators to maintain service continuity with the transition to new IMS network, as well as introducing new IMS services using their existing network. Additionally, the platform ensures seamless handoff of calls between coverage areas. As IMS continues to penetrate the telecommunication industry, operators are challenged to provide IMS services under all coverage conditions, ensure IMS users seamless service continuity while roaming to 2G\3G coverage areas, and be able to introduce new IMS services to 2G\3G customers. With IMS Multi Access, mobile operators will be able to offer current services to be used by IMS users, offer new IMS services to be used by their current Legacy subscribers. In addition, the solution will allow for service continuity when an IMS user loses IMS coverage and is served by a legacy network. As the move to an IMS based network will take several years to complete, IMS Multi Access provides a smooth transition into IMS while using existing operators' infrastructure.
