The Alcatel-Lucent Service Delivery
Environment (SDE) uses common
enablers, the power of IMS architec-
ture and other Session Description
Protocols to realize new revenue-
generating services. This helps meet
the demands to offer mix-and-match
capabilities at will.
The Alcatel-Lucent SDE is a carrier-
grade framework that can bridge
multiple domain-specific service
delivery platforms to share function-
ality among them, taking advantage
of common enablers, and exploiting
network transformation.
The power of IMS-enabled inter-
personal communication services
can be combined with other Session
Description Protocols (such as IPTV,
messaging, content delivery) to offer
a whole range of newly converged
services. These new IMS voice-
equipped services can then be
delivered to multiple screens (such
as a PC, TV or mobile device) while
sharing common service enhance-
ments (presence, location, converged
rating and charging) and operations
support system/business support
system (OSS/BSS) components. IMS,
compared to a simple softswitch VoIP
solution, provides a solid foundation
to build an SDE vision.
