Introduction by SmartSE

Reflinks will help you to turn bare urls into templated references, hopefully leaving you more time to write and reducing link rot caused by bare urls. The tool visits each webpage that is in a bare reference and collects the page title and some other information automatically, the tool has to be checked over manually to make sure that the references are filled in correctly by the tool. You may have to remove some extra information from the template and add extra details if the tool is not able to find it for you. Some links may be marked as dead links incorrectly as the site blocks the tool, you may wish to manually check these dead links before adding the dead link tag to the article. The tool also does a few other minor maintenance tasks.

The '''Rich Communication Services''' programme is a global initiative to deploy inter-operator services within an industry ecosystem. Created by the GSM Association ([[GSMA]]), Rich Communication Services are designed to offer richer yet simpler communication services supported by a strong ecosystem and a variety of architecture implementation options.<ref name=GSMA group=GSMA>{{cite web|title=Rich Communications|url=http://www.gsma.com/rcs|publisher=GSMA|accessdate=7 March 2013}}</ref>

Marketed by the GSMA under the brand name joyn™,<ref name=joyn group=GSMA>{{cite web|title=About joyn|url=http://www.joynus.com/about/|publisher=GSMA|accessdate=7 March 2013}}</ref> RCS is an upgrade that marks the transition of messaging and voice capabilities from [[Circuit Switched]] technology to an all-IP world. RCS and Voice over Long Term Evolution ([[VoLTE]]) share the same [[IP Multimedia Subsystem]] (IMS) investment and leverage the same IMS capabilities. Wider and large scale IMS deployment, interoperability between different terminal vendor RCS clients and RCS service interworking between operators are the key aims of the RCS Initiative.<ref name="RCS Strategy" group=GSMA>{{cite web|title=Strategic Rationale|url=http://www.gsma.com/rcs/strategic-rationale|publisher=GSMA|accessdate=7 March 2013}}</ref>

For consumers, it has the potential to combine voice and SMS with [[instant messaging]] or chat, live [[Video share|video sharing]] and [[file transfer]] across all devices and networks.

Main features of RCS are:
* Enhanced Phonebook: service capabilities and enhanced contacts information such as presence and service discovery. 
* Enhanced Messaging: enables a large variety of messaging options including chat, emoticons, location share and file sharing. 
* Enriched Calls: enables multimedia content sharing during a voice call, video call and video sharing (see what I see)

The service was launched free of charge, but will be a paid service in the future.<ref name="http://www.rtve.es/noticias/20120612/joyn-servicio-mensajeria-instantanea-limitado-operadoras-moviles/534852.shtml">{{cite web|author=NACHO PALOU (Especial para RTVE.es)&nbsp; |url=http://www.rtve.es/noticias/20120612/joyn-servicio-mensajeria-instantanea-limitado-operadoras-moviles/534852.shtml |title=Joyn, un servicio de mensajería instantánea limitado a las operadoras móviles |publisher=RTVE.es |date= |accessdate=2013-05-22}}</ref>

It is more limited than its competitors, because it is only available to some telecommunications carriers.<ref name="http://www.rtve.es/noticias/20120612/joyn-servicio-mensajeria-instantanea-limitado-operadoras-moviles/534852.shtml"/>

== History ==
It was originally known as Rich Communication Suite.

== RCS specifications ==

RCS leverages the various existing standards, thus RCS takes on board different services defined by e.g. [[3GPP]] and [[Open Mobile Alliance]] (OMA) and combines them with the Enhanced Phonebook. This allows the service capabilities as well as presence information of the different recipients to be shown in the terminal phonebook application.

RCS reuses the capabilities of 3GPP specified IMS core system as the underlying service platform taking care of issues such as authentication, authorization, registration, charging and routing.

Five releases of the RCS specifications have been made to date. Each release expanded the scope of its predecessor.
; Release 1: Offered the first definitions for the enrichment of voice and chat with content sharing, driven from an RCS enhanced address book.
; Release 2: Added broadband access to RCS features: enhancing the messaging and enabling sharing of files.
; Release 3: Focused on the broadband device as a primary device.
; Release 4: Included support for LTE.
; Release 5: The most recent release, global interoperability is a key aspect of these specifications.

The following standardized services are a part of the specifications of RCS:<ref>{{cite web|title=RCS Specifications|url=http://www.gsma.com/rcs/specifications/|publisher=GSMA|accessdate=18 October 2012}}</ref>
* Standalone Messaging
* 1-to-1 [[Online chat|Chat]]
* [[Chat room|Group Chat]]
* [[File Transfer]]
* Content Sharing
* Social [[Presence Information]]
* [[Voice over IP|IP Voice call]]
* Best Effort Video call
* Geolocation Exchange
* Network based blacklist
* Capability Exchange based on Presence or SIP OPTIONS

== Status ==

The Rich Communication Suite (RCS) industry initiative was formed by a group of leading industry players in 2007. In February 2008 the [[GSMA]] officially became the project ‘home’ of RCS and an RCS Steering Committee was established by the organisation.

The scope of the RCS Steering Committee’s work was to entail the definition, testing and integration of the diverse services in the application suite known as RCS. Some three years later, the RCS project released a new specification – RCS-e (e = ‘enhanced’) as well as the various iterations of the original RCS specifications and the programme is now called Rich Communication Services.<ref>{{cite web|title=Rich Communications&nbsp;– past, present & future|url=http://www.gsma.com/rcs/rich-communications-past-present-future/|publisher=GSMA|accessdate=18 October 2012}}</ref>

Rich Communication Services ([[RCS]]), which provide Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) with a means of transitioning voice and messaging services into an all-IP and [[LTE (telecommunication)|LTE]] world, has gathered significant pace in America, Asia and Europe. Carriers from the around the globe supporting the RCS standard include [[AT&T]], [[Bell Mobility]], [[Bharti Airtel]], [[Deutsche Telekom]], [[KPN]], [[KT Corporation]], [[LG Uplus]] (LGU+), [[Orange (telecommunications)|Orange]], [[Orascom Telecom]], [[Rogers Communications]], [[SFR]], [[SK Telecom]], [[Telecom Italia]], [[Telefónica]], [[TeliaSonera]], [[Telus]], [[Verizon]] and [[Vodafone]].<ref name="PR Newswire">{{cite web|title=Mobile Operators Show Increased Momentum In Rich Communications|url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/mobile-operators-show-increased-momentum-in-rich-communications-140529543.html|publisher=PR Newswire|accessdate=27 February 2012}}</ref>

'''RCS LAUNCHES'''

Vodafone Spain launched the beta version of RCS, branded joyn™, in the beginning of 2012, followed by Movistar (Telefonica) in June 2012 and Orange Spain in November 2012.

Vodafone Germany also launched RCS services under the brand joyn in August 2012, followed by Deutsche Telekom in February 2013.

MetroPCS launched joyn™ branded RCS in the United States in November 2012.

SK Telecom, KT and LG U+ launched joyn services in South Korea on December 2012.<ref>{{cite news|title=Korean operators launch joyn service|url=http://www.telecompaper.com/news/korean-operators-launch-joyn-service--915959|accessdate=27 December 2012|newspaper=Telecompaper|date=27 December 2012}}</ref>

== GSMA RCS accreditation ==

The RCS Interop and Testing (IOT) accreditation process was started by the GSMA in order to improve the quality of testing, increase transparency, drive scale, minimize complexity and accelerate time-to-market (TTM) of joyn services. Companies need to undertake the IOT process from the GSMA to apply for a license to use the service mark joyn.

"Accredited" means that the device, client or network has undertaken a series of test cases (150 to 300) in a specific set of conditions, provided test results and traces that have been analysed by the GSMA RCS IOT team and any IOT issues arising resolved with the submitter.<ref>{{cite web|title=GSMA RCS Interop and Testing|url=http://www.gsma.com/rcs/interop-and-testing/|publisher=GSMA|accessdate=18 October 2012}}</ref>
