08 May 2002
The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)'s UMTS networks promise to deliver an abundance of advanced, innovative, and feature-rich applications to end-users in a 3rd Generation (3G) wireless environment. An IP Multimedia core network subsystem is being introduced as part of this 3G wireless environment which aims to enable the convergence of, and access to, voice, video, messaging, data and web-based technologies for the wireless user. The goal is to combine the growth of the Internet with the growth in mobile communications.
