MORRISVILLE, N.C. -- Tekelec (NASDAQ: TKLC), a leading developer of telecommunications products for next-generation fixed, mobile and packet networks, today announced that its core convergence switching solution has been selected by MiRS, Israel's integrated digital enhanced network (iDEN) wireless operator.
The solution enables MiRS' transition to the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) architecture and enables next-generation capabilities, including fixed mobile convergence (FMC) and hosted session initiation protocol (SIP) services. Tekelec's IMS architecture drives switching for both MiRS' entire mobile device line and SIP-based clients, and it supports the execution of common network applications.
The Tekelec next-generation gateway mobile switching center (GMSC) server solution includes the Tekelec 9000 Distributed Switching Solution (DSS) and the Accolade Core Wireless Convergence Server (WCS) from Convergin, a leading provider of core wireless convergence servers. Tekelec will package the Accolade WCS as a product in the Tekelec wireless convergence gateway (WCG) family of products. Tekelec and Convergin announced their technology relationship in September 2005 (NEWS).
MiRS has also purchased the next-generation Tekelec 6000 VoIP Application Server (VAS) to offer advanced, feature-rich mobile, Voice over IP (VoIP) and hosted Centrex services. MiRS will use the wireless convergence server with its Tekelec 6000 VAS to develop and deliver enhanced services such as voice virtual private network, black/white lists, private numbering plans (PNP) and call treatment services, intelligent voice-assisted routing, fleet management, and wireless PBX services for its mobile GSM-based iDEN subscribers, fixed-line IP-based endpoints and voice over WiFi clients.
"We selected Tekelec's convergence solution because of the company's leadership in deploying proven, carrier-grade next-generation switching solutions around the globe," said Shaul Shmaya, MiRS' director of engineering.
