Jointly developed/tested technical specs for value-added IMS network services

Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Fujitsu, NEC, Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) and NTT DOCOMO, have announced their joint development and successful testing of technical specifications for value-added IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network services.

These technical specifications support data processing functions, such as image conversion, on the IMS network. The processing functions will also allow to develop a variety of application services.

The six companies are committed to gaining adoption of the specifications by the Rich
Communication Suite (RCS) project, a collaborative effort supervised by the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSM Association) that seeks to pave the way for the introduction of commercial IMS-based rich communication services over mobile and, eventually, fixed networks.
