Agenda
George Kontopidis, NMS IP Multimedia Subsystem Overview
Chad Hart, VDC The Analyst’s Perspective
Kirk Mosher, Sun The Platform Perspective
Will Yapp, Openera The Integrated Mobile Device Perspective
Slide 3
IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)
IMS is the next generation of network architecture for communication services
Specified by the 3rd Generation Partnership Program (3GPP) IETF, CableLabs, ETSI, ITU, and others Originated by mobile operator needs Replaces/evolves the traditional Intelligent Network Merges with the Next-Generation Networks
Network equipment providers are the drivers
Carriers/operators/service providers are the beneficiaries

Slide 5
IMS Advantages
Mobility management Find users, subscriber data
Session orientation Same session for multiple media
Service control Personalized profiles
Session service quality (QoS) Congestion avoidance vs. management
Unified OSS/BSS Billing and management
Standard interfaces 3GPP, IETF, ITU, 3WCC

IMS Value Prop. to Service Providers Convergence
Devices Networks Subscribers Services OSS/BSS
New services Combined services Mobility and presence FMC, collaboration, PTT
Faster deployment of new services Faster turn-around Standards-based
New pricing models Bundles, location-based pricing

IT-fication for Telecom NetworksIt's the Killer Architecture that Matters
“The value of IMS is not so much as a specific service enabler...but as a service creation framework in which a variety of multimodal and multimedia services are supported and enabled.”
- IDC, IMS Technology & Prospects, July 2005

Market Background
Mobile operators need new services — not just voice! SMS & ring tones have been hits for teens Mobile email has been a hit for mobile workers Profits seen in emerging converged services
Inter-person communication remains a killer app… But what is beyond basic voice? Adding presence, location, messaging, picture/video sharing
capabilities that subscribers will use is next Changing the paradigm from “What” first and then “Who” to
“Who” first and then “What” SIP/IMS is leading the charge, and not just on 3G!
2.5G & FMC too

Market Background
SIP/IMS addresses… Person-to-person, group and community-based applications Both peer-to-peer and server-based applications Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC) and dual-mode WiFi/cellular
offerings
Carrier investments underscore industry belief in demand for SIP/IMS services
Cingular, Verizon, Sprint, BellSouth — commercial launch 1Q06 Vodafone, others — commercial launch 2Q06

SIP/IMS MarketDevice Challenges & Solutions
New age application success will be all about the user experience and packaging for targeted demographics in a way that allows the subscriber the ultimate flexibility in personalization
However… current SIP/IMS device solutions have following issues: SIP/IMS capability in devices is lagging early market needs SIP/IMS services being delivered as bolt-on point solutions SIP/IMS services from multiple vendors as bolt-on point solutions lead to poor usability and lack
of adoption FMC targeting VoIP applications only
Ideal SIP/IMS client solution will provide: A simple, intuitive, IMS-first, end-user experience Support for all standardized SIP/IMS services Seamless access capability across service set Open APIs for extensibility Portability to multiple platforms Ability to easily customize, brand and package for targeted subscriber demographic For downloadable applications either by the subscriber or the operator OTA
In-Stat: “The key to successfully capturing the market for next generation personalized services is control of the end-point device.”
