Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC)

“The solution for fixed mobile convergence”

Service providers are increasingly exploring ways to increase customer retention as traditional fixed line PSTN voice traffic growth has stagnated over time. To supplement voice traffic and usage of the fixed line networks, service providers are augmenting their portfolios with “Triple Play” and converged service offerings. In addition, service providers seek to optimally leverage their past infrastructure investment to deliver the new services and applications.

UTStarcom’s Continuity™ FMC solution helps reach these business goals by protecting service provider investments with innovative solution architecture. The Continuity FMC solution functions as an application server to existing NGN softswitch and gateway elements to best leverage the infrastructure. The Continuity architecture is pre IMS-based with smooth migration to a full IMS compliant network implementation in the future, thus making the network future proof. The FMC solution has been designed to be highly scalable so it is easy to add more subscribers as the service provider’s business grows and enables new services to be added easily via application development.

UTStarcom’s Continuity FMC solution helps reduces consumer cost by selecting Wi-Fi networks when available. With handover capabilities, calls will automatically switch to a lower cost network. Dual-mode handsets reduce the need to carry multiple devices for different service subscriptions. FMC provides the platform to integrate emerging web applications with voice telephony and mobile communications.

The Continuity FMC solution is based on the proven mSwitch® platform, with over 60 million NGN subscribers on the mSwitch network globally today. UTStarcom has expertise in both network infrastructure and handset technology, thus enabling a fully integrated complete end-to-end solution to deliver the promise of Fixed Mobile Convergence and even more importantly, the Fixed Mobile Entertainment (FME)™solution.
