Technology Overview

The guiding principle behind our technology is to provide a single real time platform of integrated systems for deployment and management of next generation services across multiple networks (circuit, packet, wireless, cable), and wherever possible, extending the best features of each to those services.

IP1 executes this vision with the IMAP (Integrated Multiservice Applications Platform), a multi-service software system that offers a single point from which to develop, order, deploy, manage, test and bill for network services across heterogeneous networks. Consisting of multiple modularized components that may be deployed individually to fit the needs of each customer, IP1 IMAP is a high performance, fault-tolerant softswitch and software platform for development and deployment of revenue-generating communications services.

The precept behind IP1-IMAP is to separate the business and service logic from the underlying switching elements in a network, and to facilitate easy integration with existing systems. This enables faster and more flexible communications services delivery because new components can be added, or an existing component can be modified, without having to re-engineer all other parts of the system.

IP1-IMAP achieves these goals by adhering to industry-wide standards for telecom integration. IMAP is designed to work together with both current and next generation networks because applications are created and delivered with network independent APIs. OSS allows the IMAP platform to exchange information with other OSS/RTBE platforms in real time, thereby reducing the need to maintain multiple silos of replicated data. Having a single point for provisioning and managing the service as well as the capability to seamlessly integrate with existing billing/BSS/OSS systems greatly reduces operating and maintenance costs while accelerating time-to-market.
