Siemens Communication has revealed the latest details of
its future IP communications strategy.
At the 21st Century Communications conference on 21 February,
Christian Unterberger, president of fixed networks at Siemens, said
the company’s offerings would be based on the concept of the
“common user experience”. This would encompass a unified IP-based
domain that would support services from wireless, wireline, private
and public networks.
The new domain will be given the branding
LifeWorks@Com.
Unterberger said he believed that broadband applications would
drive new solutions such as VoIP and multimedia conferencing in the
business domain. These applications, he said, should and would be
available via any device and any access medium, and would be secure
and easy to use on network platforms.
Unterberger said this was the essence of true convergence and
would provide a powerful architecture for converged services,
giving end-users simplicity, ubiquity and flexibility.
