GSMA and GCF align accreditations of RCS devices
Working collaboratively, the GSMA and Global Certification Forum (GCF) have developed a new process for the accreditation of RCS devices and clients From November 1st 2013, GCF will include production stage RCS devices and clients in its proven and efficient certification process The GSMA will continue the accreditation of devices that are in development stage, such as RCS Blackbird devices Both organisations are focussed on offering effective and speedy processes to expedite the time to market for RCS devices and clients from manufacturers and developers Full details of the changes and the submission process are available on the GSMA and GCF websites www.gsma.com/rcs www.globalcertificationforum.org

RCS Device and Network APIs
Monetisation opportunity, MNOs offering access to the APIs to 3rd party developers for BOTH P2P and A2P apps
Differentiation by MNOs adding multiple proprietary ‘service-extension’ services on top of API stack, or exclusive deals with Corporates “Wow-factor” from rich and rapidly evolving service eco-system, enhanced interaction with corporate services Accelerate rollout of services via app download

Helping to accelerate the use of APIs
Live Innovation Accelerator still available – developers can use APIs on a live GSMA Rich Communication Services (RCS) network to develop apps – Over 200 developers registered September 2013, Orange Labs, Paris – Partnership between Orange and Deutsche Telekom – 40+ professional and amateur developers working to develop apps on device and network RCS APIs within 48 hours

Future for APIs
Once the user base of RCS has been established using native devices – A2P apps will probably be more important than P2P apps GSMA working on multi-stakeholder projects in verticals with high market potential to develop and showcase solutions utilising RCS APIs (device and network) Potential verticals include

Drivers for adoption
Consistent high levels of consumer demands for rich communications Increasing availability of handsets with native clients being shipped by operators and will soon be also available as Open Market Devices Increased collaboration between operators resulting in greater interoperability – –
Interoperability operator to operator within one country Use of IPX Hubs to enable global interoperability
GSMA community of 6 billion connections growing daily Operators focusing on an all IP future –
Services like RCS and VoLTE are the key to maintaining customer relevance
Ubiquitous Access and Full Interoperability are still key!
