Mobile operators deploying an all-IP services core have an opportunity to transform their messaging network by capping legacy investment and introducing intelligent delivery capability for messaging and multimedia while managing user generated content across multiple access domains and devices. The demand for messaging requires operators introduce new policy driven services for personalization and rapid service introduction to increase monetization and loyalty and effectively compete against the over the top web service providers.
OMA Converged IP Messaging (CPM) is an enabler that empowers 2G, 3G and LTE operators to transform their messaging core and introduce new services to the end users at the same time. Some of the capabilities of Mavenir's CPM solution are:
Multi-device delivery: A user is able to receive messages at multiple devices or messaging clients and control the priorities and preferences for multi-device messaging. For example, a user can have messages delivered to all active clients, or can designate a preferred device or client. The operator is also able to define default policy to prevent each user from having to manage personal settings and users are able to retrieve messages, conversations and file transfer history from any device or client.
Group messaging: Users are able to send messages or content to a group of users, either via a standalone message or via the establishment of a messaging session. Users are able to pre-define groups and store them in the network, identify groups in an ad-hoc fashion at the time of message submission or session creation, use copy control settings to identify which members should receive messages via blind copy and participate in messaging groups anonymously, subject to operator policy.
Media transfer: Users are able to exchange different types of content (i.e. files), either within an ongoing messaging session or via creation of a new messaging session. Users are also able to send files to one or more recipients simultaneously also during a voice over LTE or video call leveraging multi-tasking capabilities of the LTE network. Users are also able to initiate file transfer to one or more participants without any knowledge of the capabilities of the recipients' device or access network, where the network intelligently routes the message using the available delivery mechanism such as legacy MMS.
Instant Messaging (IM) / Chat: Users are able to initiate chat sessions with one or more parties, which allows a real-time exchange of messages and file transfers within a conversational content. This includes creating chat groups, convert a 1-1 session into a group session or vice versa. Users can associate each chat with a unique identifier, allowing that chat to be terminated and resumed at a later time and also allowing all messages and file transfers within that chat to be stored together in message store and later receive a threaded view of the chat
Manage message policy: Users are able to configure message policy and have it applied in the network. This policy is organized as a set of conditions and appropriate actions such as blacklist, anonymous and type of messaging services or MIME type.
Message store: Users are able to persistently store all messaging history in the network. This includes all messages, conversations/chats and file transfers. A user is also able to retrieve stored content on a per message or per conversation basis and manage stored content, i.e. delete messages or conversations, move messages from one folder to another, etc.
Mandatory components:
- Rich Messaging Server- support conversational chat (page or session mode), group chat, image, file sharing, SMS, MMS, email interworking, REST API for web services, IMAP or REST for message storage. Mavenir also supports IP-SM Gateway on the same platform.
- XDMS and Aggregation Proxy- optional for group list management.
