Since time immemorial the world has been concerned with security. Until the digital age, there has been a greater emphasis on physical security. With Digital Security, there is a concern about how computing, software, and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in general may impact both the physical world as well as digital assets. Digital Security consists of many things including levRead More…
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signaling protocol used for a variety of purposes in IP networks. SIP is principally a mechanism employed to seamlessly create, modify and terminate sessions involving multiple participants. Such sessions could be Internet telephone calls, multimedia conferences or multicast sessions. SIP can work with any type of media content. SIP is independent of the tRead More…
Voice over LTE (VoLTE) represents a standards-based method for achieving true all-IP voice communications. Prior to VoLTE, a portion of voice calls may have traversed over IP, but the radio link (e.g. the RF channel) was not IP-based). With VoLTE, LTE is leveraged in conjunction with IMS using specific profiles for control and media planes of voice service on LTE defined by GSMA. In the new LTERead More…
IP Multimedia Subsystem Introduction IMS is an intelligent services platform which supports the delivery of multimedia applications and content across both wireless and wireline networks. IMS also provides for multiple, simultaneous sessions across one or more devices enabling greater user control over access to information. IMS is the core network technology that promises to transform communiRead More…
