Last chance of carriers

To keep a role

A good opportunity for ecosystem

And about us ?

Solaiemes is working on

that

The platform to create use cases with

RCS

RCS Solution Gateway

Opening RCS access with API’s as it was done with SMS in the past

RCS Solution Gateway

Solaiemes aims to use RCS as a common framework to create user-IT-system easy interaction being the IT System 3rd parties:

- CRM platform- Social Media sites (for UGC or receiving updates) - Mobile Advertisment engine.- Alternative “way of access” to use popular web tools

IMS Core, RCS servers, RCS clients DO NOT need any modification

…and the platform to put easily RCS in all screens

RCS Thin/Web Client Server

How to do RCS the ubiquitious carrier communicator?

Combining “Cloud Communication” with javascript customized user

interfaces !!!

RCS Thin/Web Client Server

• For devices with no full computing capabilities (TV, STB) or for having access to RCS trough Web Browser it is needed a way to split the RCS client in 2 sides:

1. Server side hosting the Telco protocol (SIP, MSRP, XDM, etc) cloud based in a shared platform

2. Web GUI or TV/STB widget based on javascript, to create the user experience without the need of installing apps or clients.

• Different “look & feel” RCS “iframes” can be provided on demand. Flexibility.

• It mades RCS as a pure ubiquitous communicator

The embeddable “iframes” are RCS clients based on Javasript. The same for TV Widgets

Architecture

Now, the “politics”

Why is the weapon of the carriers?

Because it enriches the communication experience

Of all their customers, and

it means everyone

Not only the “geeks”

Think about…

Ferrari vs Ford

LVHM vs IKEA

Ummmhhh ?-)

Got the point?

YES !!!

Henry Ford make feasible the “driving

experience” for the masses

Ingvar Kamprad put nice well designed

affordable furniture in

everyone’s home

While others (LV & Ferrari) were focused in

delivering the “best” only to a

few

…historically Ikea and Ford made more

revenues and earnings

Taking care of

“the most”

And had a role transformating the world &

improving the lifestyle

With millions of customers

Carriers must take care of “the most”

Delight the masses

And it will be monetized

when got the customers in

love again with carriers

Trust RCS

Thanks ;-)
