Sprint has selected Taqua’s Virtual Mobile Core Solution to enhance subscriber voice and messaging services by leveraging the WiFi network. Taqua®, a leading supplier of mobile and fixed network core networking IP convergence systems and applications has implemented its VoWiFi solution to enable a transparent user communications experience over the WiFi network for Sprint. In both cases, voice and messaging communications are handled by the Taqua Virtual Mobile Core via session internet protocol (SIP) across the broadband network from either the subscriber’s femtocell or now WiFi access.
The Taqua Virtual Mobile Core appears as a MSC/VLR towards the circuit-switched core and delivers complete feature transparency for voice, messaging and supplementary services including single number service. The seamless user experience is maintained by utilizing the subscriber profiles from the legacy cellular infrastructure.
