Nokia Siemens Networks says its comprehensive testing of mobile voice core services running in the "Telco Cloud" shows that its cloud technology is on the brink of commercial deployment. The testing involved what NSN says is "an exhaustive set of use cases" that covered voice over LTE (VoLTE) and other IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)-based services in the Telco Cloud.
During 2012, Nokia Siemens Networks demonstrated the reliability of core virtualization in several “proof of concept" projects. These projects provided the technology foundation for core network element software running on top of a virtualized infrastructure. In addition, NSN says the projects helped identify telco-specific requirements for cloud computing…
Nokia Siemens Networks has now carried out further testing to verify end-to-end VoLTE deployment readiness in a Telco Cloud. The test tackled deployment barriers by implementing end-to-end verification of VoLTE call cases to ensure feature parity with customers’ current 2G/3G circuit-switched voice services, Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC) functionality, and the reuse of existing billing, lawful interception and intelligent network interfaces…
