ITU approves WNSRP for reducing 3G call setup time

September 6, 2005

RADVISION announced that the ITU has granted initial approval of WNSRP, a powerful new technical solution that dramatically improves call setup time in 3G-324M multimedia systems.

3G broadband mobile networks and advanced handsets are beginning to make wireless video a commercial reality. The success of emerging video-based services, such as video telephony and conferencing, video-on-demand, remote surveillance, and other real-time services, is impacted by lengthy setup times traditionally associated with streaming video and video conferencing.

WNSRP, supported by major operators, handset manufacturers, and their suppliers, is the only standardized call setup reduction solution for real-time 3G multimedia services in the industry today. RADVISION has been a strong supporter of the new standard and is marketing the first 3G video services gateway incorporating WNSRP available today.

"As 3G video devices proliferate in the market, standardizing a call setup solution becomes even increasingly relevant to market and technical success," said Boaz Raviv, General Manager of RADVISION's Technology and Networking Business Units. "Other wireless markets have proven that proprietary solutions are not satisfactory. Working together as an industry, we have developed a superior approach to call setup with WNSRP."

Extensive testing of WNSRP has shown it to be backward compatible with currently marketed handsets, as required of a robust standard. The new standard was already implemented by many companies prior to its final approval and members of the consortium have independently tested their products.

RADVISION's 3G-324M Toolkit, ProLab 3G, and SCOPIA 3G Video Gateway products support WNSRP. "RADVISION is dedicated to providing a superior user experience in multimedia systems," said Boaz Raviv, General Manager of RADVISION's Technology and Networking Business Units. "By using RADVISION products, such as our 3G Gateway, developers can quickly implement WNSRP and gain significant competitive advantages for their real-time video services products."

Developers working on 3G-324M video telephony systems can test design interoperability through RADVISION's online 3G-324M IOT facility.
