MetaSolv Announces Comprehensive IMS Support; Convergent Activation and Mediation Capabilities to Enable IMS Deployments

MetaSolv Software, Inc., a global leader in
comprehensive operational support system solutions for next-generation
communications service providers, today announced IP Multimedia
Subsystem (IMS) support with their convergent activation and mediation
capabilities.
   MetaSolv brings provisioning, activation and mediation
capabilities to all three layers of the IMS architecture, ensuring
that the end-to-end needs of provisioning and managing network
connectivity, call session control and application services are met.
MetaSolv's activation and mediation solutions provide the flexibility,
openness and ease of configuration that enables them to become an
integral part of the Service Delivery Platform (SDP) for IMS service
creation and assembly. Ultimately providing automated service delivery
and enabling the rapid time-to-market needs driven by IMS service
innovation. These robust capabilities allow operators to identify new
revenue streams and develop flexible pricing models for their end
customers.
   The MetaSolv IMS solution has the flexibility to grow with your
business - important since IMS is still in its infancy - with modular
network interface support that can be added at any time to enable new
IMS elements as they are deployed. The MetaSolv mediation solution
implements the IMS offline charging function, including advanced
features for aggregating, correlating, filtering, enhancing and
reformatting usage records, which aids in shielding the downstream
billing system from any record changes. With superior multi-service
support and capabilities including IP MPLS, Mobile, QoS Policy and
VoIP, MetaSolv is both experienced and well positioned to help service
providers transition to IMS and achieve its benefits.
   As referenced in Nortel's 2005 press release, MetaSolv and Nortel
have extended their existing partnership to include IMS. MetaSolv's
next-generation mediation solution enables billing for IMS-based
services by providing the critical Charging Data Function and Charging
Gateway Function (CDF/CGF) for the Nortel IMS solution.
