Huawei Deploys IMS in Greece

ATHENS -- Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, announced that OTE, the largest telecommunications provider in the Greek market and one of the leading telecom groups in southeastern Europe, has successfully transformed its softswitch based network to an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) based Next Generation Network provided by Huawei in Greece.

The launched IMS network, which covers all of the country, including the capital city Athens, is based on Huawei’s cutting edge and mature IMS solution and enables OTE to provide not only traditional voice services but also enriched communication features (e.g. web-based self care portal, multimedia services, instant messaging, and presence based services).

The launched IMS network has characteristics of high-reliability, high-quality and high-efficiency. The high-reliability is based on the geographic redundancy technology, so there is no single failure in the network; the high-quality is based on the IP Voice Quality Enhancement technology, so the TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) voice experience is ensured; the high-efficiency is based on Huawei’s special operation and maintenance tools and unified platform.
