Ericsson closes contract with Methodist University in Brazil

The Ericsson has a close partnership with the Universidade Metodista de São Paulo. With this the Metodista brings to the students the opportunity to develop products for the multimedia environment of convergence of Internet and Telecommunications. Besides the Metodista two more universities in Brazil have shown interest in cooperation so far.

As part of the agreement the university should provide facilities such as labs, computers and teachers, while Ericson contributes to the SDS (Service Development Studio) and the training of teachers.

Romualdo Barros, IMS Expert center manager at Ericsson Brazil, says: "That in markets such as Brazil, where IMS networks are being put into operation, it is important to get universities and local companies to invest their brainpower into developing IMS applications."

"We will also help Universidade Metodista to select the best applications and even make demos of these to show to the local operators. And where there is an interest, we will introduce the students to potential customers, or to commercial software development companies."

Barros sees this program as part of a bigger future scenario: “We want to start with a few universities in Brazil and later include other Latin American universities, such as in Chile."

As a result of the program, the Ericsson expects the following:

• New skilled software professionals with IMS expertise

• New IMS applications, up and running, conceived for commercial use

• A positive picture of Ericsson as a company that brings innovation and investments to the academic world.

IMS concept

IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) is an entirely new way to distribute multimedia (voice, video, data, etc.) regardless of the device (fixed or mobile phone, IPTV, notebook, etc.), or the means of access (3G/EDGE/GPRS, Wi -Fi, broadband, phone line, etc.).

The telecommunications industry is currently migrating to all-IP systems, driven by the fundamental need to reduce costs, create new services that generate profit and protect the operator's business model. These are the goals for fixed and mobile communication as well.
IMS enables the convergence of technologies for data, voice and network on an infrastructure based on IP.
For users, IMS-based services will enable communications in several ways - including voice, text, photos and video, or any combination of these - in a highly personal and secure way.
This lets telephone operators offer new and innovative services that end users are expecting.

The IMS platform, is more than a technical system is a model for achieving consistently an inclusive vision of the convergence of communication services, network technologies, access, content, generating new revenue and control. With that wide and concrete opportunities for business and attractive prospects of ROI (Return on Investment), is the platform for suppliers as for business operators, content providers, and providing services, which will have at your disposal a new and broad range of opportunities for business.
