CES 2012: Mentor collaborates on LTE IMS mobile device platforms

The collaboration leads to the availability of the first IMS based 4G SMS over LTE (IR.92 VoLTE-compliant) on device networking stack for the Nucleus product. According to Mentor, the technology makes it possible to run both SMS and VoIP services entirely on the baseband processor of a data device without needing to utilise the application processor, thereby increasing battery life and reserving application space for other device functions. Ecrio's 4G/LTE operator certified solutions power the key functionality of IMS based signaling and messaging within the Nucleus platform. "LTE has become the technology of choice for 4G deployments," said Michel Gannage, founder and ceo of Ecrio. "Leading RTOS solutions such as Mentor's Nucleus platform, enhanced with IMS and IR.92 VoLTE compliant device software, will contribute to the acceleration of exciting new services on 4G/LTE Mobile Networks." "Mentor Graphics is delighted to be collaborating with Ecrio, a leader in delivering SIP/IMS device side solutions, to rapidly enable key core communication protocols and functions within our Nucleus OS solutions for emerging 4G connected devices," said Jan Klube, Nucleus product line director, Mentor Graphics Embedded Software Division.
