Home Zone 2.0
Mobile operators set their sites on your home
May 2008 | pdf 320 KB
The home is the most competitive location for providing telecommunications services today.
Fixed, cable, mobile and VoIP providers all work aggressively to provide a full range of personal
communication services (voice, instant messaging, email, social networking) to consumers, with
a primary goal of winning additional mind (and wallet)-share from consumers when at home.

Marketing Home Zone 2.0 Services
March 2008 | pdf 603 KB
In an extremely competitive telecom environment, multiple mobile,
VoIP and occasionally fixed-line operators are bearing their swords to
conquer personal communication services at home. The ideal solution for a mobile operator in this battle is to create a ‘home zone’ service where the operator can offer aggressive discounts to incent consumers to use their mobile phone as their only phone.

UMA: The 3GPP Standard for Femtocell-to-Core Network Connectivity
August 2007 | pdf 664 KB
Femtocells, or licensed 3G radio access points designed for deployment in subscriber homes, are generating tremendous excitement among mobile operators. Femtocells promise improved indoor coverage and increased throughput for mobile data services while off-loading traffic from expensive macro radio access networks onto the low cost public Internet. |

Access: UMA Expands Beyond Dual-Mode Handsets
January 2007 | pdf 1.485 KB
As mobile handset penetration reaches saturation levels in many markets, mobile operators are aggressively seeking new ways to drive top-line revenue growth. One key initiative being pursued to address this challenge is providing UMA-enabled dual-mode (cellular/Wi-Fi) handset services to encourage increased use of mobile voice and data at home and the office (i.e. accelerate fixed-to-mobile substitution).

The Case for UMA-Enabled Femtocells
January 2007 | pdf 913 KB
The wireless industry has been searching for low-cost indoor coverage solutions since the beginning of mobile networks. For practical and cost reasons, indoor coverage is normally designed into the outdoor macro network by statistically budgeting for wall attenuation when signals propagate through external walls of buildings. While the intent is to achieve a high percentage of cases with satisfactory indoor coverage, it is cost prohibitive to design RF coverage for 100% of indoor scenarios.

The Complementary Roles of UMA and IMS in Fixed-Mobile Convergence
January 2007 | pdf 1.476 KB
Interest in fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) shows no signs of slowing. Major operators around the world, seeking to grow or defend their position in increasingly competitive markets, have made FMC a top priority. As is often the case with hot topics like FMC, technology debates abound as the vendor community seeks to capitalize on a recognized trend. As a result, confusion also abounds as vendors seek to best position their technology for adoption.

The Role of UMA in Mobile Network Evolution
January 2007 | pdf 3.343 KB
Amidst the hype of new technologies and industry-altering inventions, UMA has made its way to the top of the list among operators looking to deploy fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) services. The technology, which expands the 3GPP mobile network architecture to include new IP access technologies like broadband and Wi-Fi, is a straightforward way to achieve convergence. However, with
the technology beginning to see widespread deployment in 2006, mobile and integrated operators are asking how UMA fits with other evolutions happening within the mobile network. |

UMA vs. VCC
January 2007 | pdf 561 KB
Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC) has become a high-priority initiative for mobile and integrated (mobile and fixed) operators worldwide. While FMC is a broad concept with the potential to enable many new compelling services, deployment of dual-mode handsets (DMH) has been identified by many operators as their first major FMC effort. The basic premise of a DMH service is to enable subscribers using new mobile/Wi-Fi handsets to automatically transition between outdoor mobile networks and Wi-Fi networks within homes, offices and public hot spots.

The Dual-Mode Handset Opportunity
January 2007 | pdf 901 KB
Many mobile subscribers are ready to start using their mobile phone as their primary phone, and meeting this demand represents a prime growth opportunity for mobile operators. By giving users what they want—high-quality mobile service at lower cost in the places where they spend the most time, i.e., their homes and offices—operators can satisfy this previously unmet communications need and create new streams of revenue.
