Converging Operators
Wireless, Wireline and Converging Operators
With the general trend of falling price per minute from
voice services and the growing competition from P2P voice
applications, it is now clear that in order to remain
competitive it is imperative for operators to both cut
operating costs (OPEX), and generate new revenue streams by
offering innovative new IMS services. From the operational
point of view, the advantages of migration to all IP networks
are multiple:
- Reduced network complexity
- Reduced OPEX
- Core network elements control both fixed and mobile access network
- Rapid roll-out of new services at minimal cost
- Real-time billing
- One invoicefor multiple subscribers consuming diverse types of service
- Integrated customer management
- Sophisticated marketing tools and operations enabled
Аlthough eventual full migration to IP-based, Next Generation Networks (NGN) is inevitable, operators now face multifaceted issues when choosing a migration path. Despite the prospect of long-term reduction in maintenance costs and OPEX, presently, for the majority of operators, turnkey migration to an IP based network is simply not an option. Therefore, many operators are adopting a cautious, gradual approach to migration in order to gain a clearer picture about consumption trends for new services, to see further standardisation of content delivery formats, and to ascertain the real profit potential of new services delivered over IP based networks.
