ZTE has launched Voice and Video over Any-access (zVOA) offering to enable operators to deploy a unified control network for voice, video and multimedia services over any existing mobile and fixed access network infrastructure.
The new zVOA offerings leverages on existing traditional voice network, broadband pipe and end-user resources to provide multimedia services.
In addition, the offering allows network operators to deploy VoLTE, VOBB and multimedia networks.
The company said the zVOA offering uses intelligent Controller eXtensive (iCX) and integrative Media Gateway (iMG) products.
The iCX product integrates standard mobile and fixed softswitches, and IMS call control elements, while the iMG product incorporates media functions with integrated voice, video and other content types.
The offering uses virtualisation technology and cloud computing technology on the company’s ETCA hardware platform and software middleware to enable flexible deployment and to enhance the processing capabilities.
ZTE core network products chief architect Liu Jianye said the zVOA offering enables operators expand markets with freedom and have voice & video anytime anywhere, using any fixed or mobile access.
"The zVOA offering inherits the functions of traditional voice networks, while at the same time offering carrier-grade VoIP and multimedia services over both legacy phones and new smart phones based on standard IMS architecture such as MMTel, converged Centrex, converged one number, DRVCC and SRVCC," Jianye said.
