mobile convergence

A Practical Guide to the Business and Technology of Fixed Mobile Convergence

This book fully details how to bring together fixed, mobile, wireless and wireless networks into a joint environment which makes a uniform converged communication experience possible. The book has been compiled by telecommunications experts and you will learn how to create FMC-based networks, services, and solutions; support advanced technologies such as Voice over Wi-Fi; and converge them with legacy networks.

You'll also discover how to develop a phased strategy for effective rollout of FMC multi-mode devices and services, with reliable security and quality of service. The book includes details on integrating next-generation technologies such as near field communication, Bluetooth PAN, WiMax, presence, and unified messaging to create a seamless mobility ecosystem.
