Operators are continually looking to find new services that go beyond their current suite of offerings to enrich personal communications for their subscribers. Rich Communication Suite (RCS) and the more recently announced Rich Communications Suite-enhanced (RCS-e) as defined by the GSMA seeks to combine a range of services including instant messaging, file sharing, voice and video chat, to create a more enriched communications experience. RCS-e exploits the capabilities of the next generation radio and switching networks and delivers on the promise of IP-based convergence offered by IMS.
