Telenor Sweden will be the first carrier to deploy Ericsson’s Business Communication Suite (BCS), which will enhance multimedia experiences for Telenor’s enterprise customers with collaboration services in Sweden. Ericsson will also be responsible for the expansion, upgrade and systems integration of Telenor’s IMS network. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Ericsson’s Business Communication Suite, which is based on IMS, is a communication tool that enables mobile, unified communication for business users and increases efficiency with easy-to-use social-networking tools, such as presence, messaging, chat, video, incoming call management, file sharing and corporate directory. It can be used to communicate both with colleagues and other business associates.
Under the agreement, Ericsson will be the prime integrator of the IMS system, including systems-integration services. Ericsson IMS-based multimedia solutions will provide new, value-adding services for Telenor’s customers, with the main focus on mobile applications for enterprises. The delivery and integration phase of the BCS and the extended IMS-based network has already begun.
