SuperOP 2011 Event & TIP
March 6, 2011 By Leave a Comment
IMTC SuperOp! 2011, premier annual Interoperability Testing event, will take place in Kona, Hawaii, during the week of May 16-20.
During the event, IMTC members will get together to test various IP Video communications systems and technologies ranging from SIP and H.323 to VoLTE and IMS. During this event, Telepresence Interoperability Protocol (TIP) implementations will be tested for the first time ever.
Registration is open at http://www.regonline.com/superopkona

VoLTE – The first IOT event
February 22, 2010 By 1 Comment
At the 2nd of February in Stockholm, winter-time in the city filled with snow, the IMTC IMS AG (Activity Group) met F2F (Face to Face) for inter-operability activity. This time, our challenge was to help bringing IMS Voice over LTE (VoLTE, a single industry-wide solution for voice over LTE adopted by GSMA) to the market. [Read more...]
VoLTE and the IMTC

One of the important aspects of an open standard is the ability to rigorously test it for interoperability. And then when you’re done testing – test yet again. It is an ongoing process that never seem to end.
Take our 3G-324M AG at the IMTC – I’ve been an active participant of this group from its inception, and that was over 5 years ago. And this year, the 3G-324M AG is going to have some more testing done – it seems like there is no rest for engineers.
So now that the GSMA has decided to go full force and work on the VoLTE specification so that operators can start rolling out all-IP mobile networks and still provide the basic services they do today, there was a missing piece in the puzzle – they have the ecosystem, but not real place to use for interoperability testing amongst the vendors implementing VoLTE.
That’s exactly where the IMTC comes into the picture [Read more...]
A Short Introduction to VoLTE

A few years ago, when it seemed apparent that all communications are moving to an IP based world, mobile operators had to decide on the standard to use in their all-IP world. SIP was selected for that purpose as the base protocol, with a lot of additional protocols taking part to comprise the whole network. The end result (which is an ongoing standardization effort) is IMS – the IP Multimedia Subsystem.
IMS was adopted by all other incumbent service providers – wireline, wireless and cable, which in a way made sure of continuity of service, interoperability and roaming between operators. Fun as it is, the problem with IMS is its complexity: it comes to replace a hundred years of developments in voice technologies, and wrap into their future network advanced services such as rich multimedia and presence.
