BroadWorks also provides a seamless transition to IMS for carriers with Class 5, softswitch, packet cable, or hybrid networks. The same BroadWorks software platform supports these architectures along with IMS and delivers the same rich set of call control and enhanced voice features.

"Standardization groups such as TISPAN have proposed several emulation and simulation methods that would call on softswitches to be utilized in multiple ways," said Scott Hoffpauir, CTO of BroadSoft. "This webinar investigates the various approaches for eventual replacement of Class 5 switches."

BroadWorks is deployed in more IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) networks worldwide than any other application server. Carriers that have installed BroadWorks in the IMS architecture realize two substantial benefits:

1. BroadWorks applications function independent of the underlying network - extending the service reach and simplifying operations.
2. Third party applications, such as presence, can be more easily integrated with BroadWorks' rich feature set - offering powerful, new, differentiated services.

BroadWorks functionally is deployed across multiple servers to optimize performance, enhance redundancy, and meet IMS specifications. BroadWorks IMS Product Portfolio is comprised of an Application Server Complex and Media Resource Function (MRF).
