Huawei Provides China Unicom with Integrated Solution for Mobile and Fixed-line Video Communications Tweet

Huawei, a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, announced that it has deployed an integrated solution for providing multi-media video communications between mobile callers and traditional fixed-line customers using a VIG (video interworking gateway) for Beijing Unicom, a subsidiary of China Unicom.

This solution is part of Huawei' s mobile softswitch and allows multi-media video interworking between fixed and mobile networks without additional equipment. Using the VIG, China Unicom customers can have flexible multi-media services that leverage the advanced 3G network. Huawei' s integrated VIG solution simplifies operation and maintenance for China Unicom, as opposed to a separate video gateway solution, and it can also provide IMS (IP multimedia subsystem) and IM-MGW (IP multimedia media gateway) capabilities, which will allow China Unicom to easily implement complete fixed-mobile convergence.

Dr. Wang Chenglu, vice president of core network, Huawei, said: "Huawei' s built-in VIG solution, which is based on our unified media gateway, enables leading operators like China Unicom to offer advanced 3G multimedia services. This deployment will support China Unicom in establishing and improving their 3G offerings and lay a solid foundation for future success."
