VZ IMS Strategy

• IMS is Verizon’s strategic direction for infrastructure convergence, service evolution, and new service deployment– Bring new services to market more quickly– Enable blended applications, aka mash-ups– Efficiencies of shared infrastructure

• Wireline/wireless convergence via IMS is the optimal approach

– Leveraging the full scope and scale of Verizon – Delivering ‘digital experience’ benefits to our customers

• Open SOA/Web 2.0 model for application development enables

– Maximum innovation – Services customization

VZW IMS Technology Status

• Corporate Network Technology (CNT) and VZW have built initial network– Currently testing in lab/field

• VoRA (VoIP over EVDO Rev A) • LTE (Long Term Evolution)

– Series of trials in 2011 with GA by end of that year

• Technology Status– Core Elements (HSS, Session Manager (CSCF), etc.)– VoIP Integration with VzW CDMA– Wireless access elements supporting both

• eHRPD (evolved High Rate Packet Data)• LTE

• Initial IMS deployment for VZW

7


VZL IMS Deployment Strategy• Will share IMS core across business units

– Wireline regional interconnect node to IMS Core

• VZ has prototype in lab, currently evaluating– Refining wireline attachment architecture

• Policy - different standards• Access VZW (IPv6) vs VZL (IPv4)

– Considering a number of services• Fixed Mobile Convergence• Class 5 replacement• FiOS Digital Voice/Business• IP Centrex and FiOS Digital Voice growth

– Future Applications• Rich Communications Suite (RCS)• Presence based features

• VZ SDE and new Converged Application Server

VZ IMS Converged Applications• The Verizon Service Delivery Ecosystem (VZSDE) is

– A mix of people, processes and technology– An agile application development environment – Aimed at exposing differentiating service building blocks – For developers to innovate

– rapidly deliver the Verizon Experience toward consumers and enterprise customers

– Opening up additional revenue channels

• Verizon Developer Community (VDC) is the single

developer‐facing

portal– Rapid application introduction

– increasing the volume of applications produced – decreasing the time it takes to create, onboard and deploy

– Fostering a diverse and expanding development community based on Verizon’s open, consistent component interfaces

– Developers ranging from strategic partners to cutting edge startups – opportunity to bring their wares to Verizon storefronts and customers

– Flexible revenue models11


Verizon IMS Summary

• Verizon is building IMS network today for wireless

• Landline services will leverage IMS core

• Opportunities will exist for new converged application services– Mash-ups of previously incompatible content and services on

previously incompatible devices

• IMS is Verizon’s network strategic direction
