What is fixed mobile convergence? The concept of fixed mobile convergence is based on modernising networking technologies, particularly telephony and communications, to make all voice and data traffic run over Internet Protocol – IP – networks.
Voice over IP, or VoIP, is a key fixed mobile convergence technology because it allows voice data traffic to be carried by fixed broadband or mobile wireless networks.
Fixed mobile convergence also makes use of broadband technologies such as Wimax, wi-fi and mobile network technology.
Fixed mobile convergence can also lower the cost of mobile communications by routing voice communications over lower cost IP-based networks.
The goal of fixed and mobile telephony convergence (FMC) is to provide both mobile and fixed telephony services with a single phone, which could switch between networks.
A number of telephone systems vendors have embraced the convergence vision, including BT, Vodafone and Orange, as well as telephony infrastructure specialists like Nortel.
