Abstract
The IMS technology is a framework architecture for delivering IP multimedia services, which allows voice and multimedia applications to communicate from multi-access scenarios (Wireless, PacketCable, DSL, etc.), thus allowing the convergence of fixed and mobile networks. The authors carry out an investigation into the current state of the art of this technology, focusing on its architecture, operating principles, and especially on the current state of development in Argentina. They make a forecast of what will happen in the next three years and their vision of what today are the best practices for its implementation.
