Introduction

Abstract

This report provides an overview of presence-based services (PBS) market. It details the status of the market today, as well as the migration through various stages of service integration and unification. PBS is one aspect of IP-based applications service development and provisioning currently being rolled out in the marketplace.

Service providers are in the midst of a gradual evolution from circuit-switched infrastructures to IP-based packet-switched infrastructures. While much of this evolution to date has taken place in the transport and access parts of the network, there are now enhanced services that are being developed and refined. In particular, the architecture of- and market for- next-generation enhanced services is beginning to take shape.

Presence Based Service (PBS) ensures personalization of modes of communication preferred by the user by defining the availability and receptivity of contacts to engage in real-time text and voice communications. The market forecast focuses on mobile instant messaging (IM) and push-to-talk (PTT) services delivered over 2.5G- and 3G-enabled mobile devices.
