A Long Way to Go For Fixed Mobile Convergence in China.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c44835) has announced the addition of In-Depth Analysis: FMC See fixed mobile convergence. in China: A Long Way to Go to their offering. FMC (Fixed Mobile Convergence Seamless switching between cellular and local networks for mobile users. The goal is to have a handset that switches automatically from the cellular network to the local, wireless Wi-Fi network when entering a building in order to save cellphone minutes. ) has become one of the hottest topics in telecommunications. We believe that FMC is viewed as an efficient way to provide a unified architecture and end-user devices with multi-service capabilities. The convergent systems can provide voice, data, or multimedia services for and between any set of wireline and wireless end-users. In this report, we describe the roadmap of FMC in China, and provides subscriber forecasts (2006-2010) on FMC service. The report also provides clear definitions and classifications of FMC and divides the whole process of FMC into three phases: dual-mode end device convergence, IP/MPLS IP/MPLS Internet Protocol/Multi-Protocol Label Switching backbone network A backbone network provides a path for the exchange of information between different LANs or subnetworks.[1] A backbone can tie together diverse networks in the same building, in different buildings in a campus environment, or over wide areas. convergence, and IMS-based convergence. In addition, the benefits to service providers and end-users from FMC, and the multiple challenges that service providers face in evolving to the new system are outlined, providing perspectives and strategies of the four leading China service providers (China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom China Unicom, full name China United Telecommunications Corporation, 中国联通, HKSE: 0762 NYSE: CHU, is a telecommunication operator in the People's Republic of China. 52. , and China Netcom China Netcom, full name China Netcom Group Corporation (Hong Kong) Limited, abbreviated CNC, was originally formed in August 1999 by the People's Republic of China government to enable inward investments to build high speed Internet communications in the country. ), with respect to FMC. Executive Summary Definition FMC Classifications Introduction Evolution of Convergence Mobility of Broadband Access See broadband and wireless broadband. Broadband of Mobile Communication Three Strategies in the FMC Competition Provision of Differentiated Services by Existing Fixed Network Providers Cost Savings Enrich Value-added Services (VASs) Three Phases of FMC Phase 1: Dual-Mode End Device Based Convergence (Differentiated Services) Phase 2: Convergence of IP/MPLS Backbone and Access Network (Cost Control) Phase 3: IMS-based Convergence (Rich Services) Market Overview Case Studies of FMC Service Convergence Dual-Mode End Device Based Convergence FMC Based on IMS (1) See IP Multimedia Subsystem. (2) (Information Management System) An early IBM hierarchical DBMS for IBM mainframes. IMS was widely implemented throughout the 1970s under MVS and continues to be used under z/OS. Comparison of Market Applications Analyses of the Solutions CTP CTP (cytidine triphosphate): see cytosine. (1) (Computer-To-Plate) The production of printing plates directly from the computer without requiring film as an intermediate step. UMA (1) (Unlicensed Mobile Access) See GAN. (2) (Upper Memory Area) Memory in a PC between 640K and 1M. More relevant in the days of DOS, this region was broken into Upper Memory Blocks (UMB) reserved for video memory and other IMS Solution Comparison General Attitudes of Carriers to FMC in China China Netcom Long Way for Network Convergence and Uncertainty for IMS China Telecom China Mobile China Unicom Drivers and Barriers Drivers From the Perspective of Fixed Carriers From the Perspective of Users Barriers Mobile Carriers Expect the Replacement of Fixed-line by Mobile, Rather Than Convergence Market Demand Challenges Technical Challenges Risks in Organization Management and Supervision China FMC Market Forecast Profiles UTStarcom Siemens Ericsson Alcatel Conclusion Methodology Glossary Related Reports Offices List of Tables: Table 1.
