Ericsson (ERIC) announced an agreement with Beijing Netcom to provide the company with a Command Supporting System based on Ericsson's IMS solution for the Beijing Olympic Games.
Mats H. Olsson, president of Ericsson Greater China, says, "Ericsson is extremely proud to build on its longstanding relationship to provide Beijing Netcom with the first IMS-based multimedia service for the 2008 Olympic Games. This contract confirms that IMS has come of age, enabling volume deployment supporting multimedia capabilities within the fixed-network operator's service."
China Netcom is the official fixed-telecom service partner for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Under the agreement, Ericsson will be the sole supplier and systems integrator for an IP Multimedia Subsystem platform to enable personal multimedia communication. Ericsson's IMS solution enables the convergence of data, speech and network technology over an IP-based infrastructure. It supports fast and efficient management and coordination of value-added services, including voice, text, pictures and video, providing end users with a personalized, richer communications experience.
Deployment and systems integration has started and is set to be completed by March 2008. It will span the six Olympic Games cities in China. The agreement is an extension of a contract signed between Ericsson and Beijing Netcom in April 2007 to build the first commercial IMS network in China.
