As service providers move to IP, it’s critical to offer subscribers a compelling new social-conversation experience. Alcatel-Lucent offers a core set of capabilities based on the RCS ecosystem, and differentiating capabilities that make communications easier, more social, integrated and relevant.
Communications are going social with RCS
The Internet has set the tone: today, new communication services must be intuitive and social to be successful.
A recent analyst study reports a 66% increase in time spent on social websites just last year. That is almost 6 hours per month and climbing for the average social media user spent sharing and communicating with their social network.
The growing disparity in time investment is a leading indicator of where the market is going. The time invested in the brands and services that are engaging your customers is a good indication of where they perceive the most value.
In response to the demand for social communications, Alcatel-Lucent has created a set of products that enable an enriched social-communications experience for consumers and enterprises.
They allow you to build a community of users to ensure service uptake, while extending their powerful communication core to drive open innovation. These products also enable users to better connect, share and organize conversations while enabling an intuitive experience on all screens and networks.
Bring new value to IP communications with RCS ecosystem
What is the GSMA Rich Communication Suite (RCS) Program?
RCS is a leading industry initiative, sponsored by the GMSA, comprising service providers and vendors (network, device and client) who work continuously together to define and introduce interoperable features for the market. Members pursue one goal: bringing rich communication services to market. RCS profiles existing standards, tests device and network interoperability as well as service provider interworking. One key aspect of RCS is that the members continuously work together to define and introduce interoperable features for the market. |
Alcatel-Lucent is a recognized industry leader in enriched communications with a suite of products that comply with the GSMA’s Rich Communications Suite (RCS) and RCS ecosystem specifications. These products include the following capabilities:
- Social presence with traffic optimization and privacy management for end users
- Instant messaging and group chat with multi-device support
- Unified-address-book-in-the-cloud with synchronization across all devices
- APIs that can be used both natively, for trusted developers, or exposed on the Internet through our Open API Platform for third-party web developers
These capabilities are critical to aggregating context information and making the current services, like voice and messaging more integrated and relevant, based on location, device type, or the services available to our friends.
