2. Solaiemes:
infrastructure
for
operators
What?
Opening
operator
enablers
to
developers
and
enterprises,
keeping
operator
in
control
What
for?
Help
operator
profit
from
strengths:
mass
market,
trust,
reachability,
universality
How?
Easy
for
the
the
operator
(UNI
integraAon),
easy
for
the
developer
(REST
and
WS
APIs)
3. Less
philosophical
…
• Provide
enterprise
and
public
sector
with
mobile
mulAmedia
services
that
really
help
them
with
their
daily
chores
• Give
operators
weapons
to
find
use
cases
where
OTT
can
not
reach
(yet):
– Based
on
phone
numbers,
exisAng
agendas
– Universal:
not
linked
to
specific
handset
models,
no
app
– Ubiquitous:
accessible
from
any
screen
($$
even
with
no
SIM
card)
– Enterprise

5. Our
vision:
RCS-‐e
as

• RCS-‐e
=

• Telco

• Object

• OTT

6. What’s
missing?
• Open
enablers
to
innovaAon
engine.
APIs
as

so
Ankerers
can

• Operators:
able
to
open

• Developers:

7. Towards
the
“Service
Store”
• “Service
Store”
vs
“App

• No

totally
portable
across

• Telco

8. APIs:
Put’em
on

!!!
• Reuse
provisioning,
policy,
security,
firewall,
accounAng,

…
• Totally
independent

No

on

upgrades,
changes
of

• Naturally
cloudy.
Same
pla[orm
serves
different
OpCos,
even
with
mismatching
service
characterisAcs.
• Put
the
same
trust
in
your
developer
as
in
other
customers.
• Very
easy
to
use:
modelled
from
OTT
APIs,
no
telco

needed.
• Could
be
deployed
without
lengthy
carrier
approval
process.
• It
works

Enables
RCS-‐e
“ubiquity”,
making
feasible
to
integrate
RCS-‐e
with
corporate
web
portals,
in
a
web
browser
anywhere,
or
as
a
TV
or
STB
widget.
Can
create
embedded
use
cases
of
RCS
in
apps;
and
RCS
clients
in
different
pla[orms
without
implemenAng
telco
protocols:
using
HTTP
APIs
is
enough
to
deliver
RCS.
Clients
are
cloud
based
and
the
"look
&
feel"
becomes
highly
customizable.
Supported
cases
include
highly
customizable
RCS-‐e
Web
clients,
ranging
from
very
sophisAcated
(JQuery)
to
simple
html.
RCS-‐e
clients
using
TV
Widget
and
embedding
RCS-‐e
communicaAons
in
apps
(games,
adverAsement,
etc)
are
also
possible.
UNI

RCS-‐e
End
User
ConfirmaAon
Request
Server
allows
a
carrier
to
open
EUCR
capability
to
selected
3rd
parAes,
becoming
a
new
revenue
stream
for
telcos.
It
moneAzes
the
value
from
user
idenAty,
a
valuable
asset,
and
improves
on
the
now
common
SMS
mechanism
(popular
for
banks,
credit
cards,
etc.).
End
User
ConfirmaAon
Requests
are
more
interacAve,
real
Ame,
and
the
telco
can
become
a
neutral
witness
and
notary,
cerAfiying
the
noAficaAons,
acceptances,
rejecAons.
One
of
the
best
RCS-‐e
moneAzing
approaches
Demo:

(EUCR
adds
a
standard
mechanism
to

it
will
be
available
across

LiveServe
LiveServe
RCS-‐e
provides
APIs
to
make
very
easy
to
create
video
use
cases
on
top
of
RCS-‐e,
using
the
carrier
enablers,
not
bypassing
them.
Developers
can
create
mass
market
use
cases,
like
real
Ame
video
from
mobile
to
web
so
your
friends
can
see
what
you
are
seeing
from
a
social
network.
For
enterprises,
just
an
unexpensive
mobile
phone
makes
possible
real
Ame
field
reporAng,
data
acquisAon,
informaAon
broadcasAng
to
employees
in
key
situaAons,
etc.
Also
mulAmedia
self-‐service

can
be
implemented.

Uses

Avoid
