Blueslice Networks Leads the IMS Evolution with Its HSS 3000™

Montreal, Canada, May 25, 2009 - With the increasing number of IP Multimedia Subsystems, IMS, deployments worldwide, Blueslice Networks is proud to be at the forefront of this growing market. According to the recent IMS Equipment and Subscribers report by Infonetics Research, IMS core equipment has increased 94% from 2007 to 2008. More specifically, the worldwide HSS revenue has risen 72% to $121.8M for 2008.

Fuelling this increase are both 2G/3G operators who are rapidly moving from lab trials to live deployments, and the arrival of WiMAX and LTE players who require an IMS infrastructure in order to deliver competitive voice services over their wireless IP networks. As per the same report, “VoIP remains the primary application deployed over IMS”.

The rapidly growing popularity of IMS as a de-facto next-gen service architecture has introduced a new siloed subscriber database: the Home Subscriber Server. Blueslice is a strong believer that any new access and service technology deployment should be executed in a way to avoid creation of more subscriber data silos. Blueslice Networks is the only vendor in the industry offering a totally converged subscriber management solution. All front-end applications (HSS, HLR, AAA, SLF, MNP and SIP-AS) not only exist on the same hardware blades and share a common back-end subscriber database, but they can also communicate intelligently, in real-time, to share subscriber registration contexts.

“Since its inception in 2001, Blueslice Networks has been revolutionizing the telecom industry with next generation solutions. Blueslice’s HSS is the most advanced in the industry, and unlike others, is well beyond the customer lab phase, as confirmed by another live HSS 3000™ deployment by a Russian operator last month”, said Stephan Ouaknine, President and CEO, Blueslice Networks.
