Huawei recently announced that it has obtained the largest market share of China Mobile IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) deployment. Huawei was awarded contracts in 19 provinces, including Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang after the company ranked first overall in technical capabilities tests. The region serves more than 60 per cent of China Mobiles subscriber base for the entire project. Huawei worked closely with China Mobile to design the solution, write the specifications and proceed with the testing.

Peng Tao, President of IMS, Huawei, said: As part of Huawei All-IP convergence strategy, the IMS is the simple solution to converge fixed and mobile networks to support full service operations. It enables operators to quickly deliver multimedia services to the market. Huawei keeps its customer-centric strategy and leveraged its professional services capabilities to deliver a leading IMS solution that will enable China Mobile to leverage its 3G network roll out.

Started in 2009, the IMS procurement process is mainly driven by the China Mobile full service strategy. With coverage of 31 provinces it has the capacity to provide advanced services to 14 million subscribers. According to a press release it is by far the largest IMS deployment to date. The first deployment phase will target businesses, households and individuals upon demand and will provide multimedia telephony, convergent IP Centrex, and other services such as MRBT (Multimedia Ring-Back Tone).
