CUPERTINO, Calif. and
TOKYO, Feb.
25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Renesas Mobile Corporation, a
premier supplier of advanced cellular platforms and Ecrio Inc.
announce the completion of the integration of the Voice over LTE
(VoLTE) capabilities for Renesas Mobile's communication processor
and slim modem platforms for LTE smart phones. Ecrio's FlexIMS
based VoLTE Client Software is now integrated and optimised in the
MP5232 and SP2532 multi-mode LTE platforms paving the way for the
broad supply of VoLTE Services based on the 3GPP IP Multimedia
Subsystem (IMS). Renesas Mobile combined the FlexIMS based SMS and
VoLTE software with its own technology to meet the GSMA IR.92
requirements for efficient usage of LTE radio resources through
techniques such as header compression and voice specific scheduling
plus ensuring conversational Quality of Service (QoS) over both
TD-LTE and FDD-LTE. Full inter-system handovers are also supported.
Renesas Mobile will be demonstrating VoLTE capabilities on the
MP5232 platform at Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona on both TD-LTE and FDD-LTE systems.
Further details of the embedded solution were recently published in
the February 2013 edition of Mobile Europe and Renesas Mobile has
written a whitepaper about VoLTE power consumption.
Based on the FlexIMS™ Architecture, Ecrio's Mobile
Communications Client Suite (MCCS) is a unique solution that
incrementally enables VoLTE, Video Calling and Rich Communication
Suite (RCS) services to be implemented with the flexibility to
distribute functionality across processors. This architecture
enables low power consumption in both LTE and 3G modes, as well as
the low latencies for all the related IMS services.
"Ecrio's unique solution has rapidly enabled VoLTE and Video
Calling services across our product portfolio," commented
Heikki Tenhunen, senior vice
president Renesas Mobile. "The combined Renesas Mobile and Ecrio
turn-key solution enables the OEMs to deliver a richer service
experience with the highest quality multimedia communication
functionality. Renesas Mobile has commercial grade VoLTE solutions
available on our power and performance optimised platforms."
"This is a proud moment in our relationship with Renesas Mobile,
where our companies have executed flawlessly," said Michel Gannage, Ecrio founder and CEO. "We are
pleased to provide a ready and mature solution, leveraging our
mutual industry-leading positions."
