3CS undertakes applied research that has particular relevance to Industry in the area of converged Internet and Telecommunications Services. 3CS has three major areas where it is actively working at the moment:

• IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) services
• Information Syndication (RSS/ATOM) systems, architectures and services
• Mobile and multimedia frameworks and services.

 

IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) Services

The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is a standardised Next Generation Networking (NGN) architecture for telecommunications operators that want to provide converged services. The aim of IMS is not only to provide new services but all the services, current and future, that the Internet provides. It has at its core a 3GPP standardised implementation of SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) and support for IPv6.

3CS has a number of active IMS services projects including:

• InfinitIM
• IMEnabled
• 3DIM
• VIDSHARE
• ULTIMate
• IMAware

 

Information Syndication (RSS/ATOM) systems, architectures and services

3CS is developing a converged services platform for feed (RSS/Atom) services. This platform is called Feed Henry. Feed Henry is currently undergoing alpha testing – if you would like to register for an invitation to be a beta customer please do so here FeedHenry Beta Programme Feed Henry’s beta programme will include a feed aggregation and service delivery platform and a Web based Feed reader. Work is underway on extending feed Henry to Mobile and IPTV and also additional feed based applications.
