REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Feb. 23,
2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle today announced that Tech
Mahindra, a leading system integrator for network infrastructure
services, and Oracle Communications have partnered to deliver an
end-to-end VoLTE-as-a-Managed-Service solution based on Oracle's
IMS Core and Signaling products. The partnership, represents the
industry's first end-to-end VoLTE solution built on best-of-breed
technology. The solution offers operators the ability to achieve a
faster time to market with new VoLTE services, increased voice
quality and greater network efficiency while significantly reducing
cost and complexity.
Today's connected world places considerable demands on
traditional communication services and the underlying networks. As
service providers grapple with the move to an all-IP future, the
resources needed to upgrade networks and services is a significant
obstacle. Wireless operators have long recognized the need to adopt
VoLTE in order to remain relevant and prepare for interoperability
with other networks in the future, but the price and difficulty of
this adjustment has been prohibitive.
Tech Mahindra's VoLTE-as-a-Managed-Service solution, powered by
Oracle Communications technology, simplifies the path to an all-IP
network by offering a fully virtualized solution that runs on
common off the shelf hardware rather than relying on proprietary
networking equipment. A typical service provider with an LTE data
network can expect to service its first Oracle-enabled VoLTE call
within 3-6 months of deploying the solution, often at significant
cost savings compared to traditional vendors and in-house
solutions.
"The need to drive increased network efficiency and coverage
while offering enhanced voice quality necessitates the move to
Voice-over-Packet technologies," said Manish Vyas, CEO Tech Mahindra Network Services.
"Leveraging Oracle technology, Tech Mahindra is enabling service
providers to adopt VoLTE in a simpler and more cost-effective way,
with a powerful end-to-end pre-integrated solution that is
virtualized and offers industry leading capabilities at each
function."
The VoLTE-as-a-Managed-Service solution is built on Oracle
products that are used today in service providers around the world.
Designed, deployed and operated by Tech Mahindra, it empowers
service providers to offer the VoLTE services their customers
demand with reduced operational costs and without requiring any
internal skillset realignment.
"Oracle Communications is laser-focused on accelerating service
providers' transformation toward the software-centric networks of
the future," said Douglas Suriano,
Senior Vice President and General Manager at Oracle Communications.
"Tech Mahindra brings valuable experience in managed services, and
this partnership will enable us to deliver the industry's first
end-to-tend VoLTE solution to service providers globally."
The Oracle Communications technologies supporting the new VoLTE
as a Service offering include Oracle Communications Core Session
Manager, Oracle Communications Session Border Controller, Oracle
Communications Evolved Communications Application Server, Oracle
Communications Policy Management, Oracle Communications Diameter
Signaling Router and Oracle Communications Applications
Orchestrator. To learn more about these products and other Oracle
