Taqua's Virtual Mobile Core Achieves Milestone for Mobile Calls Processed by an IMS Core NetworkRICHARDSON, Texas --(Business Wire)-- Taqua (News - Alert)®, LLC, a leading supplier of IP-based mobile and fixed communications systems, applications, and services, announced today that Taqua's Virtual Mobile Core (VMC) has processed more than two billion mobile calls over commercial IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS) networks. IMS is an architectural framework for delivering IP multimedia services. It was originally specified by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) wireless standards body as an open architecture or framework for evolving the mobile network for delivering next generation IP-based services. Taqua's VMC is a 4G mobile core designed to operate in both IMS and pre-IMS networks and enable a variety of new IP-based voice and messaging services including Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi), Voice over LTE (News - Alert) (VoLTE), and Small Cells. Within an IMS network, the VMC operates as an integrated set of standard Application Servers including a Telephony Application Server (TAS), IP Short Message Gateway (News - Alert) (IP-SM-GW), and Service Centralization and Continuity Application Server (SCC-AS). Spurred by the growth of services such as Wi-Fi Calling, Taqua's VMC recently processed its two billionth call within a commercial IMS network. "Two billion mobile calls over IMS is certainly a significant milestone for our Virtual Mobile Core," said John Hodley, Taqua's wireless chief technology officer. "For mobile operators, it's also important to note that the VMC is a versatile, reliable platform that can interwork within any multivendor IMS network. Consistent, high quality mobile services have to be top of mind as carriers augment and work to evolve their traditional circuit switched voice and messaging services."
