Alcatel-Lucent Platform to be used in TerreStar Test

TerreStar Networks Inc. said Alcatel-Lucent will provide a platform for a significant test as TerreStar prepares to build an integrated mobile satellite and land-based communications network in North America.

The network will use IMS to deliver universal access and personalized services over standard wireless devices.

For the lab trial, Alcatel-Lucent will provide an IMS service delivery architecture that can enable TerreStar’s service provider customers to develop and integrate communications applications into the network.

TerreStar, which has begun deploying its network for launch in 2008, expects to provide integrated terrestrial and satellite mobility services to communications services providers. It also plans to provide services directly to business and government entities.

Alcatel-Lucent’s platform will include key elements of its IMS portfolio including IMS session controller, consolidated subscriber management system, IMS media server, presence server and IMS application server, the company said.
