Summit Tech offers modular building blocks to create IMS Rich Communications Suite (RCS, RCS-e) clients designed and tailored for your network.

The modules can integrate with an existing IMS stack or can be adapted to integrate with clients provided by carriers and OEMs. In addition, Summit's enhanced user-experience (UX) framework and service configuration tool provide OEMs and vendors the ability to create a unique service flow resulting in clients ranging from RCS, RCS-e to VoLTE (IR.92) and 2-way video calling solutions.

Fully customized solutions differentiating a network's capabilities can be achieved by implementing selected modules with either currently available IMS stacks or with our full-featured and cross-platform RCS IMS stack, available for Android, Windows, iOS, OSX, Linux, Symbian, Bada and Adobe Flash.

    Customized Enablers

    • vCard sharing: an enhancement for MSRP-enabled networks for sending
      and receiving user-customized profile information when profile sharing is not available

    • Livecast: Users can broadcast live video from their handsets to multiple
      endpoints ranging from web browsers, smartphones and legacy phones

    Web Breakout and Over-The-Top/Legacy Device Support

    To ensure RCS & RCSE clients have the widest possible reach, Summit offers an innovative IMS to web/legacy gateway. The CORG application server enables RCS clients to share enhanced communication with both web users and legacy devices.

    • For web endpoints (PC, Mac & Linux) signaling and traffic is encapsulated using the RTMP and HTTP-based RTMPT protocol supported by the Adobe Flash player

    • GSMA IR.84 support for legacy handsets is accomplished via RTSP/RTP re-encapsulation

    • Mobile to web call bandwidth is managed through CORG at both endpoints to ensure best possible quality
