To inspire new conversations that combine voice, messaging and multimedia across fixed, mobile and web, service providers are transitioning to a new network based on IMS.
Alcatel-Lucent brings service providers the professional services expertise, IMS solutions and wireless and IP leadership needed to streamline networks and transform to all-IP. Service providers can securely modernize services while simplifying operations and controlling costs.
Streamlining networks opens the door for service providers to:
The Alcatel-Lucent Residential Consumer Communications solution de-risks transformation from legacy voice services to all-IP fixed voice services. Service providers can be cost efficient and competitive while simplifying the network and building the base for advanced IP services.
Modernizing the PSTN to support voice over IP (VoIP) helps service providers stay cost effective and competitive. It is often one of the first steps toward streamlining networks.
Alcatel-Lucent IMS solutions simplify the network architecture. Operating costs drop by 25 percent compared to the PSTN. Modernizing the PSTN becomes an easy decision. And it sets the stage for the video, messaging and collaboration services that today's consumers and enterprises are demanding.
Invest in an Alcatel-Lucent IMS network today to earn new revenues from enhanced IP services for 2G and 3G networks. Capabilities such as self-care, advanced call handling and presence will delight customers and build demand for 4G LTE services.
