The RCS Thin Client Server by Solaiemes enables the creation of virtual RCS clients on various devices, allowing for a seamless communication experience without the need for implementing telco protocol stacks. It differentiates itself from the RCS Solution Gateway by focusing on personal users and ubiquitous communication across multiple devices. The platform supports various functionalities such as presence management, instant messaging, and file transfer, with future enhancements planned for features like video share support and user-defined analytics.

- 1. RCS Thin Client Server for: RCS Web Client RCS TV Client RCS embedded communication for apps RCS Clients with no need of implementing telco protocol stack.
- 2. What is RCS Thin Client Server ? Solaiemes RCS Thin Client Server is the platform creating “subscriber virtual RCS clients” in the cloud and the framework to create the personal client based on javascript to make feasible RCS browser based in your laptop, tablet, smartphone and also your TV. The idea is splitting the telco side of Rich Suite Clients from the “visual interface”, trying to avoid the telco protocol management in the final device. Also, the the RCS Thin Client Server allows an embedded mechanism to use RCS as communications for apps in a transparent and UNI way.
- 3. RCS Thin Client Server vs RCS Solution Gateway. Is it the same approach ? Solaiemes RCS Thin Client Server and Solaiemes RCS Solution Gateway share the same “core” component allowing to translate from telco protocols (SIP,XDM, MSRP) to internet API (SOA WS, Rest, etc), creating virtual RCS clients “user to network interface” based.We could say they are familiar platforms. The difference is the different goal pursuit: RCS Solution Gateway: creating virtual RCS clients meaning “service-users”. The goal is increasing the use cases on top of RCS by 3rd party developers. RCS Thin Client Server: instancing virtual RCS Clients meaning “personal- users”. The goal is to make RCS ubiquitous and multi-device way of communicating.

- 5. Architecture (I) RCS Thin Client Server virtual RCS clients MSRP SIP XDM MSRP SIP XDM MSRP SIP XDM Web Server Layouts Web Server WS/API UNI Internet
- 6. Architecture (II) TV Widgets Server (Connected TV) Widget enabled TV Presence IMCarrier core XDM IMS mobile and fixed RCS clients UNI UNI RCS THIN CLIENT SERVER Apps & Native clients embedding RCS comms RCS Web ClientInternet
- 7. RCS Support Level Currently adapted to RCS Release 2.0 Supporting: Presence & Contacts management Instant Messaging (Chat). Several simultaneous sessions per user File Transfer. Several simultaneous sessions per user
- 8. RCS Web Client Javascript/AJAX based. Highly customizable Different layouts and themes, the look & feek is pure CSS based. Suitable for computer browser, tablet (iPad), and even smartphones RCS Client becomes an URL RCS partial clients to use as RCS virtual assistant for e-commerce or banking sites with “carrier authentication” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrDy1PipiDw
- 9. RCS TV Client Widget based. JavaScript based, local Widget uses WS to create real time RCS TV client, widget can reside at TV or STB. (tested with Connected TV widget). Different layouts and themes Allows real time communication from/to mobile to/from TVs and/or browsers The way for telcos to create a pure half duplex triple play. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb8ugLJ44ag
- 10. RCS embedded communications for apps Transparent use of RCS communication capabilities integrated with apps, i.e: multiparty gaming alerts, on demand media search, etc Allow carriers to standardize the communications for many apps keeping a role and using a “network efficient use” framework as RCS. As the “final user” and “service users” are authenticated the apps will be more secure. Better approach that “device API” to use RCS features embedded in apps.
- 11. RCS Clients with no Telco protocol stack Allows the development of many RCS Clients for different platforms (iOS, Android, Symbian, etc) only taking care about the “look & feel” Using WS/API the applications are provided with real time communication with the “virtual mirrored client” keeping the telco side in the cloud. Reduces the entry cost of creating very customized RCS Clients as applications.
- 12. What is different from IMS vendors Web Clients? IMS/RCS Core providers usually offer web client and social media connectivity “locked-in” to their core infrastructure, not UNI approach, then, it is not possible to replace any of the core elements without losing the web or the social media connector capabilities. UNI approach is the only one that allows both, the carriers and the final developers to become fully independent.
- 13. Scalability & Supply Mode. The RCS Thin Client Server uses mature enterprise scalable technologies. RCS Thin Client Server can be provided on premises or as a Cloud Communication platform as a Service. It could be placed everywhere and the entry point of “virtual clients” to the telco core will be trough the SBC (“session border controller”), it means UNI interface.
- 14. Interoperability Solaiemes virtual-client base technology participated in RCS test-fest events. Also the Solaiemes RCS technology has been used for e2e use cases interoperated with SBC, XDM, Presence, IMS servers and handset and desktop clients.
