Wireless IP
If you mention wireless IP to someone, there are far too many directions for the conversation to go in to be discussed here. Let's just say that IP is becoming as much a part of the wireless network as it is the wireline network. Broadly, that is happening through the adoption of IP multimedia subsystem architectures, but on a less esoteric level, it's happening through the integration of session initiation protocol technology into mobile devices and the deployment of IP-based radio access networks. Here's some of what we've heard recently about the progress of IP technology in wireless:
“A lot of times it might seem quicker to implement a stovepipe application, but managing the interfaces to make it a real converged service will be messy.”
— Jennifer Smith Byers, vice president of sales and marketing, Leapstone
“You could not design a platform right now that could only be deployed in an IMS environment. Whatever you do now needs to support the legacy and new network environments because some carriers are being less aggressive than others about deploying IMS.”
— Vittorio Viarengo, vice president of development, Oracle Corp
“SIP handsets are out there now. A lot of carriers have been waiting for them, but I think there is a discontinuity between the people at those companies who are looking at new handsets and the ones who are planning new services.”
— Bill Tam, CEO, EQO Communications
“Carriers might know what an IMS core is supposed to look like, but a common problem is where they get the services from — how many application servers do they need. You also have to support both SIP and Parlay X in the service creation environment. You need to have a bridge mentality.”
— Ken Lee, director of product marketing for communications, BEA Systems
