Fixed Mobile Convergence: Voice over Wi-Fi, IMS, UMA/GAN, Femtocells, and Other Enablers
A practical guide to the business and technology of Fixed Mobile Convergence
Written by telecommunications experts, Fixed Mobile Convergence explains how to consolidate fixed, mobile, wireless, and wireline networks into a seamless environment enabling a uniform converged communication experience. 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.
