Understanding Converged Communication™

Training Format: e-Digest
Course Code: NET290



Description
Today's communication marketplace is more dynamic than ever, with new communication mechanisms arising regularly that are truly changing the way that we access information and the way that we exchange information with one another. As users embrace these new forms of communication and information access, they want access to all their information, all the time, wherever they go. This trend is taking hold across both consumer and enterprise marketplaces. In this e-Digest we will explore communication convergence from the perspective of user wants and needs, and then present a three tiered model of the layers of convergence that ultimately enable new converged service such as Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) to be introduced into the marketplace.

Designed for
Newcomers to the telecommunications field and experienced professionals who want to understand the broad perspectives of convergence in today's communications networks.

  • Identify the primary goals of Fixed Mobile Convergence
