Overview
The Ecrio Mobile Communications Client Suite (MCCS) transforms everyday applications into communication-rich applications. The MCCS framework reduces the complexity and effort required to add rich communication functions to applications ranging from Voice and SMS to video telephony, content sharing, social communications and enterprise solutions. Applications running in common application environments, developed using standard SDK tools on a wide range of device types and platforms can be easily upgraded to communication-rich applications using the framework’s rich set of functions and its simple access methods.
The Ecrio MCCS solves the challenges of enabling and sharing high-value and complex communication capabilities among multiple applications and devices, reducing the incremental effort, cost, and risk of deploying and using new LTE and IMS service capabilities. It accelerates application development resulting in more uses and optimized experiences expanding the individual value and market reach and achieving a higher value for the service capability investment.
Ecrio Mobile Communications Client Suite
The Ecrio Mobile Communications Client Suite (MCCS) transforms everyday applications into communication-rich applications. The MCCS framework reduces the complexity and effort required to integrate rich communication functions to applications ranging from Voice and SMS to video telephony, content sharing, social communications and enterprise solutions. The core communications functions of the framework are compliant with 3GPP, OMA, IETF, GSMA, CTIA and other relevant industry standards. The framework also enables applications that support major industry initiatives such as GSMA Voice over LTE (VoLTE, based on IR.92), Rich Communication Suite (RCS) and Rich Communication Suite Advanced Communication Services (RCS-e).
Communications Enablement
At the core of the Ecrio MCCS Framework is a set of high-value communication capabilities delivering both existing messaging and calling functions and the latest in rich IP communications. These core communication enablers and application engines are compliant with industry standards, tested and proven in demanding network and operating environments. These core functions provide essential communications service capabilities such as
- Voice Calling: Standard voice, Voice over IP calling over IMS, and Voice over LTE (VoLTE)
- SMS over IP Messaging over IMS
- Packet Switched Video Telephony including 2-way Video Calling
- Situation Awareness: Real-time presence, capabilities, and location for contacts
- Enhanced Messaging: Both standard and advanced IP messaging including conversational messaging
- Sharing: Real-time, person-to-person video, image, and file sharing
The Ecrio Mobile Communications Client Suite is highly modular and made up of a suite of Frameworks that enable development of one or more of the above communications services.
Device Platform Portability
The Framework can be installed and run on common mobile and PC operating environments and support the application environments applicable for those platforms. This includes existing 3G and 4G devices and smartphones as well as the emerging set of LTE and VoLTE devices. The platforms include but are not limited to, Android, Brew Mobile Platform (BMP), Linux, Windows, and Windows Mobile amongst others. The framework can also be easily adapted to a wide range of device types and specialized platforms by customizing and optimizing a set of reference/example portability modules (Platform Drivers) without requiring changes to the rest of the framework.
Software Development Kit Products
The Ecrio Mobile Communications Client Suite is provided as a Device-Platform SDK used by operators and / or device suppliers to optimize and install the framework on devices, as well as an Application Development SDK used to develop applications that use the framework. Included in these packages are tools to verify end-to-end operation with various network systems and service application infrastructure systems.
