Nokia Friday said that an industry group aimed at standardizing equipment for next-generation mobile networks has accepted the Finnish mobile phone vendor's proposal to adopt IPv6 as the protocol for IP-based multimedia services.
The proposal, which paves the way to make IPv6 the standard protocol in third-generation mobile multimedia networks, was accepted this week in a plenary session of the system architecture group of the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), Nokia said in a statement.
IPv6 is the new, updated version of the main Internet communications protocol.
Nokia, in Espoo, Finland, can be reached at 358-9-5113-8193 or at www.nokia.com/. 3GPP is at www.3gpp.org/.
