Accession IMT & IMX

Immersive multimedia telephony

Immersive multimedia telephony enables a user to move a conversation or session freely between preferred devices, and to take advantage of local network connectivity or handset capabilities, while instantly sharing content that is related to the users' actions, surroundings or needs. 

Accession IMT: A suite of solutions that enable carriers to deliver immersive multimedia telephony with fluid call control across numerous wireline and wireless endpoints

Accession IMX: A solution for delivering an immersive multimedia experience, managed by Metaswitch, that eliminates the need for carriers to purchase and deploy hardware

Embrace the multi-screen culture

With the rapid rise of the media tablet and the continued widespread adoption of smartphones, wireline and wireless network operators must now satisfy an increasingly demanding, tech-savvy and always-on mobile subscriber base. But these valued customers are now using these devices to access walled-garden, over-the-top, rich communications services to meet both their business and personal telephony needs, threatening core revenue streams before incumbent carriers have a chance to react.

Accession IMT and IMX, from Metaswitch, enables service providers to meet these challenges head on. Accession immersive multimedia telephony solutions not only deliver a richer communications experience but allow subscribers to gracefully move calls between wireless and wireline network infrastructures, from circuit switch to packet switch, and between smart mobile endpoints, broadband-enabled PCs and fixed line phones, all while the call is in progress. 

This fluid call control enables IMT or IMX users to uplift their telephony session to include high definition voice and video on an interface or device of their choice - regardless of where and how the call was received or initiated.

Mobile Content Sharing

Accession includes an extensible and flexible client / server solution designed to deliver real-time, impulsive, rich multimedia interaction between either two mobile devices or a fixed line and mobile endpoint. At the touch of a button, the Accession platform can enhance personal or business calls and chat sessions, enabling users to simply push or dynamically exchange a wide range of contextual content to enrich a conversation. Featuring location-based services, personal mobile payment options and games, mobile content sharing with Accession provides an engaging and immersive communications experience.  

Hosted and maintained by Metaswitch within a pure cloud computing environment, wireless and wireline carriers can deliver valuable enterprise and consumer applications without the need for underlying NGN infrastructures and components, thereby dramatically reducing time-to-market when competing for customer mindshare against today’s nimble OTT competition.

The Accession client is available for mobile devices based on Android, Apple iOS and BlackBerry OS, which includes today’s most popular smartphones. A Windows PC client option enables interaction between wireless and wireline phone numbers - ideal for delivering enhanced interactive business services.
