Azaire Networks Inc., one of the leading providers of multi-access network solutions, announced recently the availability of its new IP Converged Network Platform with eXtended Mobility (IP-CNP with XM), enabling delivery of enhanced IMS/SIP voice services over both WiFi and cellular access networks. The new solution is fully compliant with 3GPP's TS 23.206 voice call continuity standard. Azaire Network's customers now have the ability to offer a complete range of rich voice, data and IMS services across existing cellular networks and new broadband IP wireless access networks.

Azaire Network's new IP-CNP with XM fulfills the mobile user's need to access subscribed services in a seamless manner whether at home, at the office or on the road. Additionally, operators can cost effectively deliver a combination of existing "voice and data" services in conjunction with new, rich VoIP and multi-media services.

The new IP-CNP with XM leverages the SIP-based IMS architecture to extend operators' existing voice services over WiFi access. It also delivers new SIP-based applications such as instant messaging, presence, push-to-talk, video sharing over the same access network. Delivery of rich interactive applications over WiFi and cellular networks in combination with data services like push e-mail and broadband streaming video downloads/uploads, mobile TV and music downloads, ensures that users can experience "All Services Everywhere."

"The rapid spread of dual mode phones, the fast adoption of SIP-based VoIP and the tsunami of video content both business users and consumers are downloading today points to a burgeoning market interest for 'all services everywhere,' including voice, data and shortly IMS applications," said Bill Howe, President and CEO of Azaire Networks. "Operators can meet this market need quickly and with minimal network investment with the new IP-CNP with XM platform."
