Acision Joins the GSMA's Rich Communication Suite Initiative
CTIA - LAS VEGAS, April 1 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ -
Acision, the world's leading messaging company, today
announced that it has joined the GSMA's Rich Communication Suite (RCS)
Initiative. As part of the RCS Initiative, Acision, along with 60 other
member organisations, will be at the forefront of developing rich
communication technology and services, which run across IP and
multimedia-based networks, such as enhanced messaging, presence enabled
contact management and in-call multimedia sharing.
The GSMA RCS Initiative was formed in 2007 by leading industry
players in a collaborative effort to facilitate and accelerate the adoption
of applications and services that interoperate and provide enriched
communication. By combining the joint experiences of the major network
operators, handset vendors, messaging infrastructure leaders and PC client
specialists, the GSMA RCS Initiative will drive the roll-out of the first
truly converged communication platform, which leverages the ubiquity, ease of
use, standardisation and chargeability which made SMS a success.
Acision's expertise in delivering advanced messaging services
to operators globally, as well as its sophisticated product portfolio of
end-to-end IP-based messaging and communications solutions, means it is well
positioned to help drive technical development of RCS services. Today,
Acision is already prepared for the future of enriched communication with its
own converged next-generation messaging architecture which enables operators
to migrate their current messaging services to future emerging technologies
with minimal interruptions.
Louis Corrigan, CTO at Acision, said: "By being part of the
GSMA RCS Initiative we can provide valuable insight into the advancement of
the converged communications environment and quickly realize our long-term
vision of a single platform that incorporates all messaging and
communications services. Acision's aim is to help ensure that RCS is a
success that will enhance the end user's communication experience, see mass
adoption and boost operator revenues. For us, this initiative will provide
the next major step in the messaging revolution and will enable us broaden
our scope as the leader in next-generation messaging."
Acision's end-to-end messaging solutions run across all
network types, bridging the gap between 2G, 3G and 4G networks, including
IMS, HSPA, LTE and WiMAX environments. This supports the increased usage in
services such as mobile broadband and enables operators to increase Average
Profit Per Megabyte (APPM) while reducing backhaul pressures. Acision's
experience in messaging and charging will enable it, alongside other RCS
Initiative members, to help accelerate the time to market of RCS and ensure
service providers can launch reliable and commercial RCS services. Acision
has already performed over 100 successful commercial deployments of its IP
messaging solution globally across all networks types.
