Ericsson and BroadSoft have signed a global OEM agreement to integrate components of BroadSoft’s BroadWorks technology into Ericsson’s IMS based Engine Multimedia 2.0 (EMM 2.0) solution. This would enable service providers to use same platform across wireline and wireless networks based on the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) architecture.
Ericsson will market the EMM 2.0 platform with integrated BroadWorks technology as part of its softswitch offering, which is based on the 3GPP architecture. The solution supports multimedia services, including hosted PBX, IP Centrex, residential broadband and collaborative conferencing services, transparently across different networks. The integration of the BroadWorks media and application servers into EMM 2.0 is based on SIP. It follows the architecture developed for 3GPP that will be used in next generation fixed and mobile networks to provide multimedia services regardless of location. Financial terms were not disclosed. http://www.broadsoft.comhttp://www.ericsson.com
