Abstract

The FIRST Report published on this topic ANYWHERE

If you are a mobile operator you probably regard Fixed Mobile Convergence as an effective way of increasing the functionality of the mobile handset and maintaining current ARPU levels. But if you are a fixed-line operator you are looking to FMC as a means of countering substitution and displacement trends. Do mobile operators need to be concerned about fixed competitors stealing their customers? Is the technology in-place and reliable enough to deal with call continuity and handover. visiongain tells you the answers to this and we tell you today.

A true FMC solution requires a reliable mechanism for calls to be handed between wireless and cellular networks seamlessly. UMA was the first, if limited, step in this direction. While UMA falls short on this front, Voice Call Continuity (VCC) has emerged as a viable handover technology that allows for the continuation of voice calls from the IMS domain to the circuit switched domain. Find out how VCC removes these and many other shortcomings of UMA technology by purchasing this report.

VCC is a SIP-centric approach to FMC, a technique that will allow SIP packets to be transported through a wireless network. Because VCC is based on SIP, it is likely that it will be used as a basis for the provision of multimedia handover in the future. As multimedia handover will play an important role in next generation telecoms networks, major players are adopting innovative approaches to implement it. Which vendors and operators are at the forefront of VCC and multimedia independent handover developments? What can you do to make sure you do not lose out to your competitors? This report will tell you.

VCC is being driven by both mobile operators and fixed telcos, eager to deploy an all-IP solution quickly. Trials are taking place now globally by vendors and operators. There are over 100 VCC trials taking place worldwide, and the first commercial deployments will happen in Q1 2007. visiongain also expects standards-compliant VCC enabled handsets to become commercially available by YE2007 - ARE YOU READY?

This is the first report published on this topic - providing in-depth insight into VCC and its role in IMS. It discusses VCC operation in detail and examines the market opportunities that arise through the enhancement of IMS with VCC handover technology. The progress of the standardisation specifications relating to IMS/VCC is provided and the strategies and products of various network and mobile client software vendors are also looked at. The report also analyses the importance and impact of 802.21 multimedia independent handover and 802.21 market developments.

This report answers key questions including:

• Where are the biggest opportunities for IMS/VCC services?
• How does VCC compare to UMA in terms of capability and characteristics?
• Which mobile operators will be the first to rollout VCC and how and
• when
• will deployments take place globally?
• How is VCC and 802.21 standardisation progressing?
• What are the benefits of deploying VCC and multimedia independent
• handover?
• How are handset issues related to VCC being resolved and when will VCC
• handsets reach critical mass?
