ZTE Corporation, a provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, has rolled out its new ZTE (News - Alert) Voice & Video over Any-access (zVOA) solution to enable operators to deploy a unified control network for voice, video and multimedia services over any existing mobile and fixed access networks.


"The zVOA solution is an ideal way to help operators expand markets with freedom and have voice & video anytime anywhere, using any fixed or mobile access," Liu Jianye, chief architect of ZTE Core Network Products said in a statement.

"In meeting the future development trend and demands of core networks, the zVOA solution fully inherits the functions of traditional voice networks, while at the same time offering carrier-grade VoIP and multimedia services over both legacy phones and new smartphones based on standard IMS architecture such as MMTel, converged Centrex, converged one number, DRVCC and SRVCC," added Jianye added.

ZTE is of the opinion that with the launch of LTE and WiMAX network technologies, widespread deployment of broadband access technologies such as HSPA+ and WiFi (News - Alert), and the increasing popularity of multi-mode smartphones, consumers have come to expect a continuous and consistent service experience in spite of different broadband access points. ZTE also believes that IMS-based VoIP and multimedia services are fast becoming a new area of growth for network operators. However, achieving cost-efficiency remains a challenge for many, said the company.

ZTE's zVOA solution is said to rightly address these issues and utilize existing traditional voice networks, broadband pipes and end-user resources to offer more multimedia services. Thus, it is said to be a low-cost, easy to maintain and easily upgraded one. Network operators can easily deploy VoLTE, VOBB and multimedia networks and also maintain a competitive edge by offering more services to end users.

Moreover, the iCX (intelligent Controller eXtensive) and iMG (integrative Media Gateway (News - Alert)) products in the zVOA solution are said to integrate standard mobile and fixed softswitches, and IMS call control elements and incorporate media functions with integrated voice, video and other content types.

ZTE clarified in its statement that the solution fully complies with a variety of standard interfaces of circuit switched (CS) elements and IMS elements, and can integrate all standard softswitches and IMS functions onto one shelf or even on one single board.

TMC (News - Alert) recently reported on the market trend report issued by pen Open Vista Consulting (OVC) where ZTE was ranked one of top three in the LTE infrastructure. The Shenzhen-based company is said to have contributed much for TD to evolve to TD-LTE (News - Alert). In addition, the company is noted as the first one proposing SDR (Software Definition Radio) in the industry and boosts LTE to support voice via offering EPC and IMS solutions and owns a complete LTE production line.
