RCS (Rich Communication Services) got a large boost at Mobile World Congress with the announcement from Google that they will support RCS.  RCS is essentially SMS/MMS that can work over IP networks and can enable presence and location, and sharing of media.  Kind of sounds familiar, except this is an app that is from your service provider, which adds much value to them.  It’s available on some newer Androids, but not iPhones.If you have a newer Android, this feature could have value to you.

A month and a half ago, Dialogic and Oracle executed a successful NFV MANO demonstration during SDXCentral Demo Friday. We also did an enhanced version of this demo at this past Mobile World Congress.

NFV is a great concept, but in order to pull it off, an ecosystem will need to be humming along.  There are quite a few challenges to NFV, including operational ones, business ones, and technical ones such as scalability and interoperability. 

What are some of the use cases for a real-time Application Delivery Controller(ADC)?

In my past blog, I made a case for using the Application Delivery Controller, essentially an intelligent load balancer for web, database, and other network-based traffic, to be applied to real-time telecom communications. Let’s now observe some use cases for a real-time ADC.
