The following companies have graciously provided resources in support of the Forged-By-IMS Research Competition.

Azaire Networks provides hybrid network technologies enabling mobile broadband services. Azaire Networks is providing the 3G/IMS laboratory with its TTG/PDG technology, based on ATCA platform, which supports leading-edge 3GPP Interworking WLAN (IWLAN) functionality.  IWLAN allows end users to authenticate their access to WiFi networks using their cell-phone providers’ SIM cards and maintain secure access over WiFi to all of the existing applications provided by Cingular today, along with the new IMS applications. This means WiFi users do not need to go through a manual sign-in process, such as ones that prompt for an ID and password.

 BridgePort Networks, a provider of end-to-end Mobile VoIP applications, is supplying its NomadicONE™ IMS Convergence Server (ICS) software to the 3G/IMS lab, enabling mobility management for IMS.  In conjunction with the Siemens advanced IMS capabilities, the NomadicONE ICS enables the 3G/IMS lab to feature dual mode handsets with both GSM/UMTS and WiFi/VoIP capability. Seamless automatic network selection and mid-call voice handovers between networks are supported.
Nokia is providing IMS capable Nokia N80 multimedia computers to the 3G/IMS laboratory to support the development of the next generation of IMS-based mobile applications. Nokia is a world leader in mobile communications, driving the growth and sustainability of the broader mobility industry. Nokia connects people to each other and the information that matters to them with easy-to-use and innovative products like mobile phones, devices and solutions for imaging, games, media and businesses. In support of the 3G/IMS lab, Ubiquity will donate licenses of its award-winning SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) Application Server (SIP A/S), and its advanced SOOF (Service Oriented Object Framework) architecture for enabling real-time applications. Ubiquity’s Service Components, a set of pre-built, re-useable software building blocks for rapid creation and management of converged applications, will enable students to incorporate application capabilities that leverage Siemens Mobile Presence Manager (Presence status), Community Service Data Manager (Group list management), Instant Messaging and Chat, and Push and Talk over Cellular. Ubiquity will also support the 3G/IMS lab with training and related support services.
