Presence information is highly useful data to communicate. Not only does it allows end users to indicate their own willingness to communicate, it also provides vital information to others so they can use the most appropriate means of communication.

With the multiplicity of communication services (voice, SMS, MMS, Instant Messaging) and devices (mobile phone, PDA, PC), contact information is dispatched to multiple databases and terminals. Moreover, it often happens that being able to access a contact list would facilitate the use of some services, but there are unfortunately no connection between the service and the end-user's contact list. Typically, this is the case when an end user wants to send a SMS or a MMS from the operator's Web site: the phone numbers of his contacts are stored in his phone, but he can't access them from the...

The Alcatel-Lucent 5420 Voice Call Continuity (VCC) server provides cellular and WiFi-integration for voice call with telephony services (including hand-over). In addition, the 5420 VCC extends mobile numbers to PC users and can be used to extend IMS fixed line calls to mobile users.

Mobile subscribers spend about 2.5 hours each year listening to mechanical tones while waiting for their correspondent to pick up the phone. The Alcatel-Lucent 5900 Personalized Ring Back Tone (PRBT) introduces various content, such as music, jokes, famous quotes and corporate ads, to replace this "dead" time and entertain callers while increasing mobile operators' revenues.

The Alcatel-Lucent 8608 EAGS helps mobile operators to determine the position of a mobile handset. While many competing location technologies perform poorly in rural settings, the Alcatel-Lucent 8608 EAGS, contrary to standard GPS services, has been proven to work extremely well in rural settings, as well as functioning in harsh urban environments, such as urban-canyons or inside buildings.

The Alcatel-Lucent 8610 Instant Convergent Charging Suite (ICC) is a highly flexible and configurable convergent payment product.

The Alcatel-Lucent 8614 Instant Zone (IZO) application enables the creation of attractive, mobile-service-provider tariff packages for voice and data services based on the subscriber's location. It allows mobile service providers to define one or more key zones, based on cell ID, such as home zones, office zones and campus zones, to support a greater diversity of pricing plans for both prepaid and postpaid subscribers. Offering service providers a fixed-mobile substitution ( FMS) strategy to expand their market share, this mobile-only solution does not require expensive dual-mode phones,...

The Alcatel-Lucent 8615 Instant enhanced Charging Collection Function (IeCCF), a key product within the Converged Payment solution, enables service providers deploying an IMS network to benefit from an end-to-end IMS charging solution, whatever the access network is (NGN,WiMAX, WIFI, or.). Indeed, IeCCF is a mandatory building block for IMS, and WiMAX off-line charging, as contrary to legacy networks where each node may generate their own CDRs, in IMS core there is no tracking of the network resource usage without IeCCF.

Alcatel-Lucent 8616 M-Payment enables users to buy from merchants within the payment network. Five components of the payment technology suite work together to enable this process:
