GSMA launches RCS Specification Release 2

GSMA, who represents the interests of the cellular industry, announced today the launch of the next set of service specifications, RCS Release 2, for the RCS Initiative (Rich Communication Suite) and also the RCS DevChallenge, a new contest for client applications developers for mobile phones and PCs.

The contest is sponsored by Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Nokia Siemens Networks, Orange and Telefonica. For more information and register, please visit this site:

"As an active member of GSMA RCS Initiative, Alcatel-Lucent is helping service providers to leverage the RCS Specification Release 2 to successfully meet the consumers demands for a new generation of continuous and improved services, transcending the devices and areas of the fixed and mobile telephony over Internet", said Gani Nayak, Chairman of the Division of Interactive Media and Communications Applications at Alcatel-Lucent.

"Ericsson welcomes you to the launch of RCS Specification Release 2 that allows service providers to offer a common experience of multimedia communication for mobile phones and other devices connected to broadband", said Magnus Furustam, Vice-President of Product Area Core and IMS at Ericsson. "Our RCS activities are concentrated in the implementation of a interoperable platform with complete communication, to unify the billions of telecommunications subscribers through some common standards. The open and inclusive nature of RCS provides an ideal platform for the innovation of the developers, and therefore we are delighted to sponsor the RCS DevChallenge".

It's always good to know that we have such events encouraging the creativity and the work of developers for this market. And I hope we have more investment in the Brazilian market, as we are far behind the world powers.

What do you expect from the brazilian market? Leave your comments here!

Download SDS 4.1 FD1

Ericsson has released a new version of SDS. SDS 4.1 has a few changes, highlighting some of them:

• Support for IPTV applications.
• Support for JDK6.
• A little simpler installation.
• 1GB RAM (512MB work, but .... )
• Windows XP SP3 (SDS work in Windows Vista ... but I not recommend )

It is recommended to remove previous versions before installing.
You can still follow the installation tutorial until before the Sailfin installation.
The download size is sharply increased too. The Eclipse version has also changed and is now more stable.

If you still don't have it, you can achieve the installation serial key by this simple registration.
If you have problems share with us through the IMS Technology Group.
