Communications servers are open, standards-based computing systems that operate as a carrier-grade common platform for a wide range of communications applications and allow equipment providers to add value at many levels of the system architecture.Based on industry-managed standards such as
AdvancedTCA®, MicroTCATM,
Carrier Grade Linux and
Service AvailabilityTM Forum specifications, communications servers are the foundational platform upon which equipment providers build network infrastructure elements for deployments such as
IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS),
IPTV and wireless broadband (e.g.
WiMAX).
