For mobile operators looking to accelerate fixed to mobile substitution (FMS), battle the increased threat from VoIP providers and lower the cost of mobile data service delivery, Kineto products and services based on the 3GPP UMA/GAN and HNB standards enable operators to leverage the cost and performance advantages of fixed broadband access networks to deliver compelling new fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) services.
Dual-mode handsets One of the most popular FMC applications, dual-mode cellular/Wi-Fi handsets, represents an opportunity for mobile operators to lower costs while improving the performance of mobile services when subscribers are at home or in the office.
Femtocells Femtocells are low-powered cellular base-stations deployed in the home or office to provide ‘five bars’ of coverage and high-speed throughput for media-rich data applications.
Terminal adaptors Mobile operators can now capture additional revenues by providing fixed-line home phone service, delivered from their existing mobile core network.
Softmobiles Mobile operators are increasing interested to deliver a full mobile experience, even to users connected to laptops. New softmobile clients provide a telephony interface to the mobile core network from the subscriber’s laptop, ideal for international travel.
