Network Address Book Datasheet (571k) Network Address Book
The move to multi-device access of single services through mobile phones, PC applications and browsers is driving the need for a common Network Address Book which is independent of the terminal used. This provides the operator with an opportunity to offer value add services like mobile phone address book backup combined with an always up-to-date address book. This enhances service whilst reducing subscriber churn.
The Colibria Intelligent Network Address Book meets the emerging needs of converged networks for one repository for contact information. This allows the user to access their services from any device and still see their contact list in a familiar layout. In addition, changes to a contact need only be made once. Thereafter the changes are visible to all contact lists that contain that contact.
Carriers now also wants to aid the user in managing their multiple social networks and instant messaging communities by integrating information such as status into the address book. Colibria leverages its established Social Network Gateway to combine this information and delivery updates to the users handset or online device for display against the primary identity.
The solution utilises Colibria’s leading edge XDMS technology allowing centralized storage of contact lists and users public / private profiles. It can be deployed in pre IMS, IMS and RCS (Rich Communication Suite) networks. Profiles can be synchronized from traditional mobile handsets using SyncML or from SIP clients and devices using an XCAP interface. A client adaptor layer allows diverse data formats to be unified into one common format, limiting client interworking issues.
