IMS (The IP Multimedia Subsystem) is the cornerstone technology for next generation networks. It offers a robust infrastructure for developing and deploying multiple network services and data from a common core across different access networks and for evolving from circuit-switched networks towards all IP networks.IMS remains the technology of choice for fixed and hybrid operators whose legacy network resources are near or full depreciation.  

Over the last few years, IMS was relegated to fringes of operator strategies. Operators often overlooked IMS in favour of investments in other areas of the network such as radio, supporting services and applications. It was not until LTE become the technology of choice for 4G, that IMS started witnessing a fresh wave of interest from players in the wireless value chain. IMS is now on the path to become a successful commercial packet core technology.

•           One Voice Initiative

Although, there are positive growth pointers, not all mobile operators are on board IMS bandwagon. Some believe that it is too complex to deploy, while others believe that business case in favour of IMS cannot be generated due to costs involved.
