LongBoard and Stratus to drive call handover across WiFi & 3G networks

May 15, 2006

LongBoard, a provider of carrier-grade software that enables revenue-generating, converged voice and multimedia services, and Stratus Technologies, a provider of open, carrier-grade software, hardware platforms and telecommunications solutions, have entered into an OEM partnership agreement. As part of its Converged Personalized Services initiative, Stratus will now offer LongBoard's SIP standard-based software for seamless handoff of voice calls between cellular networks and 802.11 (WiFi) networks.

LongBoard's IMS-compatible client/server software enables a dual-mode handset to support ubiquitous voice services across WiFi and cellular networks using one telephone number. Stratus further enhances the product's capabilities by providing SS7 and IN connectivity, as well as complete systems integration services. The complete solution is fully 3GPP IMS compliant and is being currently trialed with several operators.

"By integrating LongBoard's innovative product technology into Stratus' FMC solutions suite, we can offer carriers and services providers new revenue-generating capabilities today that leverage off their existing network investments," said Ali Kafel, Stratus vice president, Telecommunications.

LongBoard's call handover software was the industry's first network-based FMC solution using the Session Initiated Protocol standard, which has been embraced by service providers worldwide and is at the heart of the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS).

"This partnership will provide carriers with a powerful, unique converged services solution that boosts ARPU and enhances customer relationships," said Hari Haran, LongBoard president and CEO. "At the same time, the agreement enables LongBoard to significantly expand our market presence and reach into the carrier marketplace," he added.
