Successful completion of 3G All-IP multimedia rich
call over BT wireless trial network in the UK
date: May 8, 2001 - source:
Nokia
Nokia and BT wireless have successfully completed a 3G All-IP multimedia
rich call, using a BT wireless trial All-IP system. This breakthrough
in development of 3rd generation All-IP technologies included the testing
of mobile Voice over IP and rich call applications such as video telephony,
IP multimedia messaging and video streaming, based on the latest 3GPP
International Standards.
The multimedia applications were provided by Nokia experimental All IP
Mobility Core system and application servers, run over a trial 3G All-IP
network. The system is based on industry-backed standard IPv6 required
to cater for the hundreds of millions of users of the Mobile Internet,
and to establish proper quality of service and security in IP networks.
The provision of rich call and IP Multimedia messaging services utilized
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) that forms the heart of future All-IP
multimedia and Mobile Internet service architectures. The services being
trialled allow the users for the first time to be able to initiate and
complete a number of different applications within a call session opening
up major new product opportunities for the first time.
This is the first time all the fundamental building blocks of the 3G All-IP
system were brought together as an integrated end-to-end system, and marks
a significant industry milestone that Nokia and BT wireless have together
established.
All-IP system enables the delivery of a range of services using a common
IP platform providing new capabilities for BT wireless' affiliate networks,
such as BT Cellnet, ESAT Digifone, Telfort and VIAG Interkom. Based on
open Internet protocols, service creation languages and technologies,
All-IP system provides seamless integration of communication services
and Internet applications. By increasing the flexibility and rapidness
of service creation, end-users can be delighted with completely new rich
communication experiences. Furthermore, an IP platform will potentially
reduce mobile network costs by enabling an integrated network infrastructure
and optimized transmission system to be realised.
The IP multimedia collaboration wireless is part of the BT wireless trials
and collaboration activities with strategic suppliers. Nokia and BT wireless
will continue in a project exploring the benefits of an All-IP mobile
Multimedia end-to-end network solution for 3G services, also based on
IPv6 and SIP. In addition to deploying state-of-the art All-IP solutions
for technology validation and exploration of new Mobile Internet services;
Nokia and BT wireless will focus on proving the business cases for implementing
an All-IP solution. The collaboration will provide a platform for determining
how new services and applications can be rapidly introduced and how potential
hurdles to new rich services can be eliminated. The project will also
support the drive for open standards, which are necessary for 3G to be
successful.
Industry expectations are that packet-switched traffic will exceed circuit
switched traffic in the mobility core network by 2005 and these trials
will help in commercialising All-IP technology as a full mobile core network
system solution.
