According to a recent announcement, Vodafone Portugal has chosen Ericsson’s (News - Alert) Core IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) to deliver its next-generation integrated fixed and mobile convergent services, which were launched last month.

 
The common service environment supported by Ericsson's IMS solution will allow Vodafone Portugal to implement flexible and scalable advanced services.
 
In addition, IMS provides a great deal of cost savings and flexibility by enabling converged mobile and fixed-control networks to all-IP.
 
According to Miguel Martins, CTO Vodafone Portugal, "Ericsson's extensive IMS experience will enable us to improve time-to-market, maintain cost control, and provide our customers with a leading convergent service offering."
 
"This contract marks an important milestone in our long-standing relationship with Vodafone Portugal and highlights our ability to deliver robust multimedia solutions in the role of system integrator. Ericsson IMS offers an attractive user experience by enabling telecom operators to combine today's and tomorrow's applications in an integrated service offering," also commented Hans-Erhard Reiter, President of Ericsson Portugal in a statement.
