D2 Technologies and Alcatel-Lucent Complete Interoperability Testing of VoLTE and RCS

D2 Technologies, the market leader in embedded IP communications software platforms, and Alcatel-Lucent (EURONEXT PARIS: ALU)

, an IP networking, ultra-broadband access and cloud technology leader, today announced the successful completion of interoperability testing of key elements of the VoLTE and RCS IMS profiles with both the native and downloadable versions of D2's mCUE® 4G client software. The mCUE 4G software client, paired with Alcatel-Lucent's IMS infrastructure, gives service providers optimized and interoperable VoLTE and RCS functionality to more quickly and efficiently commercialize advanced IMS capabilities on 4G LTE networks. D2 Technologies has demonstrated the proof of concept and shown how IP-based communications such as RCS, VoLTE (IR.92), VoWiFi, and IR.94 video calling can be seamlessly combined with traditional GSM CS and SMS communications to deliver on the GSMA's so-called "Green Button Promise." D2 Technologies' mCUE 4G embedded software implements these rich-call and rich-messaging features natively in mobile handsets for a completely seamless user experience. "By emphasizing native support for RCS and VoLTE, we can ensure that mobile phone users are able to take full advantage of an optimized and richer communications experience that's built into the phone," said Doug Makishima, chief operating officer for D2 Technologies. "Alcatel-Lucent is poised to push the needle forward for VoLTE and RCS adoption worldwide. By working to ensure that mCUE 4G is compatible with Alcatel-Lucent's technologies, D2 continues to be positioned at the leading edge of global IMS commercialization." "We are excited to be working with D2 Technologies to extend the HD voice and video benefits of VoLTE and next generation IP based communication experiences provided by RCS to more mobile devices and users," said Fran Heeran, General Manager of the IMS business at Alcatel-Lucent. "It's helping to extend rapid innovation in communications across voice, video, messaging and content sharing that will drive a whole new generation of personalized, ultra broadband services."
