Spirent added a configurable IMS component to its CS8 Wireless Device Design Tester to help mobile-device designers bring products to market that deliver such IMS-based services as voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE), presence-based instant messaging, video messaging, desktop sharing and new location-based services.

The Spirent CS8 reportedly allows engineers to replicate specific network implementations during the design phase.
