Ericsson's SDS

Ericsson’s SDS (Service Development Studio) is a development tool for IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) applications and is part of Ericsson Mobility World. It has a standard IMS-based network with communication services simulator and the client side includes devices for mobile, fixed broadband and WLAN access. The SDS is on version 4.1, which contains the new following features:

* Support for Nokia S60 phones and C + + APIs
* Integration with the SailFin 1.0 JavaEE / SIP server

SDS is based on the Eclipse IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and Wireless Toolkit (WTK). It also has several tools for testing, deployment and debug.

To download Ericsson SDS is a small registration is required to receive your free serial, then you can download it.
Soon, I’ll post a brief tutorial for installation of the SDS.

IMS Layers

Well, after a brief explanation of concepts IMS about IMS Concepts (IP Multimedia Subsystem), now we show how things work. Basically, the IMS architecture is based on 3 layers: Transport, Control and Services.

Transport: This layer is responsible for converging converge all networks (wireless, GSM, GPRS, 3G, fixed telephony, among others) in networks based on IP, because IMS is based on networks that use the TCP / IP protocols.

This layer is intended to disregard the manner of how the data will be transported, no matter which network we're using, but how to use it, as it should be used in a much simpler and more standardized.

Control: Layer responsible for communication between devices and services. She It performs the authentication and controls traffic between the layers of network and services. It can also facilitate communication between services.

As this layer is all based on IP, it is able to combine data, voice and video in a single only one session.

Services: The most important layer because here the focus is on services that are available to users, we do not care how they come to the devices or other network, because it was oblivious to the abstracted by network and control layers. This causes makes that the IMS architecture has have flexibility to implement new services.

This makes the IMS architecture a reality for digital convergence and ready for the availability of services, able to be discovered and reused.

Demonstrating on Ericsson's IMS

As we have seen, IMS is a platform that allows various devices to communicate to independently of the network.
A very interesting video on the subject can be seen below.

In the video are demonstrated how we can use technology to facilitate our lives. We see for example, the provision of a mobile device with an IPTV, both in the exchange of messages and the sharing of videos.

Ericsson launches IPTV with IMS technology

Ericsson launched the first IPTV middleware integrated with IMS technology. It's based on open standards that facilitates the integration with the operators, as IMS is designed to boost the future of communication and entertainment services. The solution end-to-end for IPTV is based on the specifications of the Open IPTV Forum, being the first solution in the world have pre-integrated with IMS platform.

Ericsson is developing a platform that will enable the TV industry make real that people have a different experience watching TV individually. The focus is enable operators to differentiate their TV offerings and offer innovative services to attract, retain and excite the consumer.

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.
