ALU’s ‘New Conversation Experience’
. . . Suddenly your mother called and you added her into a group conversation. But your phone screen is too small to accommodate them both. So you turned on your TV and moved the call from your phone to the TV set, and continue talking to your family.’ – What you just read is an example of an ambient network where a user can switch a live call or connection between devices or networks totally unaffected. How implausible this may seem at this moment, a new solution based Alcatel-Lucent’s (ALU’s) IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and 4G Consumer Communications solution has made this plausible. The solution enables ALU’s 4G network to offer subscribers a unique experience where one can spontaneously switch between voice, video, messaging and group calling and effortlessly move live calls to their preferred devices such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop or TV.
