Background
HSPA+
LTE
What is convergence?
Mobile and fixed networks get together
This development is coming mainly from the fixed side as those networks
get more and more mobile
Main challenge is to find a durable way to connect these two different
networks while service levels are maintained and transfer the network
specific advantages to the other network (e.g. fix numbers on mobile
networks, SMS and MMS-services on fixed networks)
What are the customer expectations?
Communication for voice and datacalls with one device
Wants to benefit from the advantages offered by the different networks
Doesnt care on which technology is used to deliver the service, most
important is the functionality and the pricing of the service
The price will distinguish the situation of being in a fixed environnement (eg
at home), or in an office situation with a requirement to be on-the-move
(price premium)
The customer also expects the network speed & quality to be everywhere &
on the same level;
