Fixed-mobile convergence has evolved as a symbiosis of the fixed and mobile networks. FMC enhances fixed communications services with mobility and enriches mobile telephony with a wide selection of SIP-based services.
FMC user with single subscriber identity & service profile
Convergence makes the service-offer location independent. It brings IMS-like performance to the existing network infrastructure. Unlimited and unified service access, anywhere and on any device.
Iskratel Convergent Services predominantly belong to the pre-IMS network architecture. A smooth migration to IMS represents a logical step for future evolution.
Using a SIP-based suite of solutions, fixed and mobile operators can reduce their CAPEX and OPEX, increase subscriber coverage, extend the continuity of services across networks and improve service revenue. The consequences are customer loyalty and the prevention of churn.

Integrated fixed&mobile operators
Mobile operators are making large investments in radio-network coverage. They are improving their outdoor and indoor coverage. In addition, they have to reduce roaming fees. These two trends impact on the revenue source.
Fixed-to-mobile substitution is another concern to be faced by fixed operators. Mobility and attractive mobile devices draw users into the sphere of “mobile-only” communications.
Iskratel’s SI3000 brand portfolio consists of three main product families:
For fixed operators the latter represents an option, while for mobile operators both options are appropriate.
CONVERGENCE-ENABLING MODELS
Fixed operators currently make heavy investments in broadband-access technologies. The everincreasing last-mile capacity has a double effect. Enhanced user experience ensures subscriber loyalty. But on the other hand, the availability of cost-free web services, including very competitive telephony, represents a threat to income.

No. Convergent services require only minor infrastructural tweaks. The fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) as proposed by Iskratel is a pre-IMS set of solutions. It creates an IMS-like service-delivery environment with the currently existing network elements in the operator’s domain.
From the end-user point of view, the solution does not impose any new requirements on the existing mobile and fixed terminals. It also promotes new communication channels using a Soft-client approach. Dual-mode (WiFi, GSM) handsets are considered in the solution as well.

Convergent Services for Fixed Operators
While the users are on the move, all the essential services are unreachable outside the corporate environment. Consequently, the productivity of the employees becomes a serious issue.
Mobility comes as an incremental feature: all the services remain available when the user is out of the office.
A business-oriented feature set is currently beyond the scope of mobile users. The productivity of the employees is under threat.
1. FMC for Business Users with mobile-line prime Mobile business users are often members of a mobile Centrex group. They have access to all the standard mobile services with internal call rates.
SINGLE IDENTITY FOR MULTIPLE TERMINALS
The solution is designed as an extension of the IP Centrex functionality. Therefore, the users have access to all the hosted business services that are executed by the businessfeature server in the fixed operator’s network.
SMS-enabled VoIP network
The users have access to a limited stack of services provided by the mobile operators. The missing component is the access to all the attractive SIP-based services.

Iskratel Convergent Services extend current voice, SMS, MMS and video services to the internet. They enable mobile operators to offer a competitively differentiated and strategically aligned SIP-based service suite.
1. FMC with Mobile Stick The FMC solution with Mobile Stick covers the entire globe. It is used wherever an IP network is available. The Mobile Stick makes the internet into a giant roaming cloud - a mobile operator can virtually extends its “signal” coverage all over the world. This means a world-wide internet community, with Mobile Stick devices, becomes a One Location Area within the home mobile operator’s network. Mobile Stick is a soft client integrated into a USB device with an embedded SIM card. Such a USB device transforms a PC or a laptop into a voice-, SMS-, MMS- and video-capable device. In addition, it enables a presence-status overview, instant messaging, PC-to-mobile device call continuity and much more. The Mobile Stick serves as an additional mobile advertising channel.

The solution is suitable for operators with high security demands that require SIM-based authentication.
2. FMC with Soft Client Soft Client is a downloadable soft phone that acts as a phone terminal installed on a PC or laptop. The solution is suitable for those operators who trust the SIP authentication and those that require a faster and less demanding solution deployment. Because SIM cards and USB keys are obsolete, the carrier instantly reaches a wider audience of potential users.
3. FMC with Dual Mode Handset The Dual Mode Handset (DMH) is the ultimate device for users who are willing to pay more to get a true FMC. Subscribers use it as a conventional mobile device or independently as a soft-client device on WiFi hot spots. The user-presence status is visible on the DMH. For this reason the operator adds the presence-based routing as an additional service.To make use of the full potential of FMC an operator offers Voice Call Continuity (VCC), where a voice call is maintained while traversing from the WiFi to the mobile network and back.
The unification is carried out by the Iskratel Convergent Services solution. It offers the opportunity to expand the company’s PBX or IP-PBX systems beyond the corporate onto the mobile operator’s network. The mobile device becomes a true substitute for the office desk.

Iskratel Convergent Services extend current voice, SMS, MMS and video services to the internet. They enable mobile operators to offer a competitively differentiated and strategically aligned SIP-based service suite.
1. FMC with Mobile Stick The FMC solution with Mobile Stick covers the entire globe. It is used wherever an IP network is available. The Mobile Stick makes the internet into a giant roaming cloud - a mobile operator can virtually extends its “signal” coverage all over the world. This means a world-wide internet community, with Mobile Stick devices, becomes a One Location Area within the home mobile operator’s network. Mobile Stick is a soft client integrated into a USB device with an embedded SIM card. Such a USB device transforms a PC or a laptop into a voice-, SMS-, MMS- and video-capable device. In addition, it enables a presence-status overview, instant messaging, PC-to-mobile device call continuity and much more. The Mobile Stick serves as an additional mobile advertising channel.

SOFT-CLIENT
The solution is suitable for operators with high security demands that require SIM-based authentication.
2. FMC with Soft Client Soft Client is a downloadable soft phone that acts as a phone terminal installed on a PC or laptop. The solution is suitable for those operators who trust the SIP authentication and those that require a faster and less demanding solution deployment. Because SIM cards and USB keys are obsolete, the carrier instantly reaches a wider audience of potential users.
3. FMC with Dual Mode Handset The Dual Mode Handset (DMH) is the ultimate device for users who are willing to pay more to get a true FMC. Subscribers use it as a conventional mobile device or independently as a soft-client device on WiFi hot spots. The user-presence status is visible on the DMH. For this reason the operator adds the presence-based routing as an additional service.To make use of the full potential of FMC an operator offers Voice Call Continuity (VCC), where a voice call is maintained while traversing from the WiFi to the mobile network and back.
The unification is carried out by the Iskratel Convergent Services solution. It offers the opportunity to expand the company’s PBX or IP-PBX systems beyond the corporate onto the mobile operator’s network. The mobile device becomes a true substitute for the office desk. The solution is suitable for medium-sized and large companies.

Convergent Services for Fixed Operators
While the users are on the move, all the essential services are unreachable outside the corporate environment. Consequently, the productivity of the employees becomes a serious issue.
Mobility comes as an incremental feature: all the services remain available when the user is out of the office.
A business-oriented feature set is currently beyond the scope of mobile users. The productivity of the employees is under threat.
1. FMC for Business Users with mobile-line prime Mobile business users are often members of a mobile Centrex group. They have access to all the standard mobile services with internal call rates.
SINGLE IDENTITY FOR MULTIPLE TERMINALS
The solution is designed as an extension of the IP Centrex functionality. Therefore, the users have access to all the hosted business services that are executed by the businessfeature server in the fixed operator’s network.
SMS-enabled VoIP network
The users have access to a limited stack of services provided by the mobile operators. The missing component is the access to all the attractive SIP-based services.

Mobile operators are making large investments in radio-network coverage. They are improving their outdoor and indoor coverage. In addition, they have to reduce roaming fees. These two trends impact on the revenue source.
Fixed-to-mobile substitution is another concern to be faced by fixed operators. Mobility and attractive mobile devices draw users into the sphere of “mobile-only” communications.
Iskratel’s SI3000 brand portfolio consists of three main product families:
For fixed operators the latter represents an option, while for mobile operators both options are appropriate.

Fixed operators currently make heavy investments in broadband-access technologies. The everincreasing last-mile capacity has a double effect. Enhanced user experience ensures subscriber loyalty. But on the other hand, the availability of cost-free web services, including very competitive telephony, represents a threat to income.
