Mobile VoIP: IP Convergence Goes Mobile

Overview The telecommunications industry is in the midst of the megatrend of IP (Internet Protocol) convergence, with the shift from circuit-based networks and system to IP packet-based networks being driven by the new rich service innovation opportunities and cost savings they offer. Every level of the value chain is evolving: fixed operators are looking to take advantage of reduced infrastructure and maintenance expenditure; mobile operators hope to accelerate fixed-mobile substitution by offering services previously available only from fixed lines. The most visible aspect of IP convergence is through Voice over IP (VoIP), a way to carry voice calls over an IP network by digitizing and packetizing them as data streams.
