Ericsson has been selected by ArmenTel, VimpelCom's operator in Armenia, as the supplier and systems integrator of an IP Multimedia Subsystem solution that will deliver a next-generation network, supporting integrated fixed and mobile services.

Under the agreement, Ericsson will transform ArmenTel's existing fixed network into an IMS-based, fixed and mobile convergent network.

The deal includes Ericsson systems integration services of required IP-platforms and applications to enable convergent IMS service offering, such as IP telephony and multimedia services to consumers and business customers.
