RadiSys, a provider of application-ready software and hardware platforms, has introduced Integrated Mobile Media Server (IMMS), which it claims to enhance mobile service providers’ ability to grow new revenues from the explosion of 3G mobile video services and emerging 4G long term evolution (LTE) deployments.
The IMMS is a packet-based service delivery system that offers two-way and N-way conversational video services, and enhances one-way streaming services. In addition, it consolidates disparate service processing equipment into a single carrier-class network element, the company said.
According to RadiSys, the new offering provides an optimised video delivery across diverse networks, varying mobile device capabilities and diversity of content, while conserving available bandwidth. It builds on the many IP-based audio and video mixing, recording and media playback features already available on Convedia Media Servers for mobile networks.
In addition, the IMMS also introduces two new features, integrated 3G-324M support and EVRC audio codec support for CDMA-2000 and EVDO networks. The addition of 3G-324M enables IMMS to support both circuit-based and packet-based 3G mobile video services on the same platform.

The company claims that the new offering transfers the 324M protocol processing inside the media server, and improves video quality while reducing call path delay by reducing the number of network elements in the call path.
Anthony Ambrose, vice president and general manager of communications networks at RadiSys, said: “The IMMS is a natural extension of RadiSys’ leadership in media servers and telecom platforms. By working closely with our industry-leading partners and with our tier-one customers on early deployments, RadiSys is shifting the playing field for mobile service providers, and positioning them to capture a bigger share of the growing mobile services market.”
