Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Ericsson is to collaborate with Sun Microsystems to develop an open source Java technology-based multimedia application server and a program for the developer community.
Ericsson will contribute parts of its server development to the open source project GlassFish, and the support program will provide a variety of tools and expertise to support developer communities, and enable developers to test their applications on a live network based on the IP Multimedia Subsystem - the architectural framework, originally designed by the wireless standards body 3GPP, for delivering IP multimedia services to end users and now adopted for fixed and mobile networks.
Claes Odman, head of multimedia solutions in Ericsson's multimedia business unit, said that, through the collaboration, Ericsson would take "a very active role to enable all involved industry players and consumers to reap the benefits from IMS, such as scalability, quality of service and a strong user experience, building on open source."
He added: "By giving developer communities the tools necessary to build applications that seamlessly fit in an IMS environment we stimulate the creation of a wider variety of new applications that support the emerging communication culture with every day life experiences anywhere, anytime and on any device."
Sun and Ericsson will also collaborate to offer third party developers access to converged services delivery platforms through their respective developer programs, such as the Sun Developer Network (SDN), Sun Partner Advantage Program and Ericsson Mobility World Developer Program.
Ericsson also plans to standardize development of applications and services on the Sun Java System Communications Application Server.
