IMX Advantages

Rapid service creation tools: The intelligent combination of CCXML, VoiceXML and ECMA scripting in the IMX SCE allows call control applications to be creatively blended with Web applications. Developers can design application logic, as well as, add methods to access external databases via standard interfaces like SOAP/XML, ODBC and JDBC. With IMX® 2.0, service providers can build or customize new services in days, not months; and for a much smaller investment.

Rich application programming interface: For more serious application development in which applications need to utilize a broader range of SIP methods, implement complex call control and business logic, invoke third-party web services, and perform many other advanced tasks, application developers can create SIP Servlet-based applications natively on the IMX 2.0.

Lower investment on increased creativity: The IMX 2.0 platform significantly reduces programming and development costs by accelerating application development. Adherence to well established standards and languages also enables service creators to tap into a much larger pool of application developers with more generic skill sets, resulting in increased creativity and reduced operational costs, differentiation in the market and enhanced competitiveness.

Seamless integration of systems and services: Relying on current industry standards, the IMX 2.0 platform is engineered to integrate with softswitches, gateways, media servers and other network components built by Sonus, as well as, components built by other leading manufacturers. The IMX 2.0 conforms to IMS standard interfaces, as well as, the latest standard for service development, including JSR116 SIP Servlet API, CCXML, VXML, JDBC/ODBC, Perl and Java Server Pages.

High performance, scalability and reliability: Optimized for high-volume, real-time multimedia services, the IMX 2.0 platform leverages Sonus’ market-leading solutions and the Availability Management Framework (AMF) from the Service Availability Forum™ for high-volume call processing, load-balancing and high availability. Like all Sonus products, IMX uses a distributed architecture that scales gracefully to support a growing subscriber base and call volumes, and a N:M redundancy scheme for exceptional reliability.

History of successful deployments: The IMX 2.0 platform leverages a long-standing expertise in creating market-leading, carrier-class IP-voice architectures, and allows the company to offer integrated IP-voice infrastructure and application development systems. Leading the market, Sonus solutions deliver billions of voice traffic minutes every month for many of the largest carrier networks in the world.
