Everybody knows that revolutionary transitions of every-day-use technologies never take place, not only because you can’t make a whole people<\/span> mass to change the way of thinking, but also because technology<\/span> evolves in a step-by-step way. So, to complement my past post,<\/span> today I’ll approach a way how the cell-phone network could migrate in a pace<\/span> transition, to VoWiFi\/VoWiMAX.<\/p>\n

This transition has a name<\/span> and it’s<\/span> FMC (Fixed-mobile convergence). Today, i<\/span> got to read about a start-up, www.divitas.com<\/a>, that has an offer of this type:<\/p>\n

“DiVitas makes enterprise-relevant communications<\/span> networks transparently available to users through a single wireless handset and Fixed -Mobile<\/span> Convergence (FMC) functionality that includes multi-network roaming, seamless handoff, and secure remote access.”<\/p>\n

They are not the only ones innovating in these matters, British<\/span> Telecom<\/span> with the “Bluephone project” introduced this approach and so are doing most of the Telecoms, that as<\/span> a response to the decaying long-distance revenues entered into the cell phone business.<\/span> Now they are trying to make their network Wireless\/Fixed to appear as<\/span> one.<\/p>\n

So… you pay high<\/span> cell-phone tariffs, but as<\/span> soon as<\/span> you reach a WiFi hotspot, your handheld device switches to fixed network and charges you fixed-phone tariffs. The high<\/span> work<\/span> here is the approach of the handoff, how can you still continue your conversation even if you changed to a totally different network. In fact, this issue has been resolved but partially, because if it’s<\/span> true that the handoff is done, there are still a lot of handoff-blocking (Calls lost because of the change), actually lots of research<\/span> centers are working in order to solve this issue.<\/p>\n

The first<\/span> step has been done, now the trend is that WiFi network coverage increase and progresively you’ll start to use more the WiFi network than the Cell-phone one.<\/p>\n

Wait a minute… so where would be the VoIP actual players in this scenario?? As<\/span> soon as the<\/span> UMTS internet connection decrease in price, the handhelds would be connecting to – just to say a name –<\/span> Skype, this way making transparent to the user the fact that they are connected to the internet through UMTS, WiFi or WiMAX, always seeing the same service. Cool huh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
