BEAS: BEA Systems & Huawei Technologies Collaborate to Accelerate the Adoption of Next-Generation Telecom Networks

BEA Systems, Inc., a world leader in enterprise and communications infrastructure software, and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (“Huawei”), a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions, today announced they are partnering to collaborate in accelerating telecom network operator’s efforts to increase revenue by accelerating the adoption of next-generation telecom networks based on IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS).

As a pioneer in global IMS application, Huawei IMS solution, based on 3GPP, 3GPP2 and TISPAN standard, can enable operators to reap real benefits from Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC). Marking a key milestone in their relationship, BEA Systems and Huawei have successfully completed interoperability testing and system integration between the Huawei IMS solution and the BEA WebLogic® SIP Server. With the completion of this system integration, BEA and Huawei are able to offer communications service providers a comprehensive, proven, best-of-breed, IMS network and services layer solution, greatly reducing the costs of development, costs of operation and time-to-market for innovative next-generation communication services.

Mr. Zha Jun, vice president of Huawei’s core network product line and director of IMS solution said, “Huawei has become a mainstream supplier of IMS, providing operators with a convergent, open and innovative service management platform. BEA Systems is a world leader in enterprise and communications infrastructure software. By integrating with BEA WebLogic® SIP Server, the Huawei IMS solution can help enable operators to deploy various integrated multimedia services efficiently. Huawei will continue to develop close partnerships with leading vendors and continue to build our competitive IMS ecosystem.”

Early in December 2004, Huawei established the IMS service experience center. Dedicating two years of time and resources, Huawei has built an expansive IMS industry ecosystem, and is going to market with several new value-added services, such as such as PES/PSS, IP Centrex, Multi-media Conference, MRBT/MCLI, VCC, Gaming, POC, Media sharing and so on.

Mike McHugh, vice president and general manager, BEA WebLogic Communications Platform, BEA Systems said, “Huawei has fast become a leading network equipment provider and system integrator in the Chinese and global telecom markets. The joint BEA-Huawei IMS offering presents our mutual customers with an unparalleled opportunity to leverage IMS technology to grow and strengthen their business.”
