Fixed Mobile Convergence

The demand for scalable, mobile solutions continues to grow, especially within the enterprise. For those companies seeking the right tools to manage communications for employees on the go, Thrupoint has a great toolset in its fixed mobile convergence solution.

This Thrupoint page offers a bird’s eye view of the company’s fixed mobile convergence offering, which is designed to meet the needs of enterprise customers and service providers seeking an edge in the market by combining their voice and data streams internally and to support mobile employees.  

Subscribers gain advantage from the company’s fixed mobile convergence as it enables users to easily make and receive calls using the traditional cellular network, or by accessing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) using WiFi (News - Alert) connections.

Your IT department can easily control messaging applications or corporate voice communications through a single smartphone. The implementation of the fixed mobile convergence ensures employees are accessible with one telephone number regardless of their location or the type of phone they are using to communicate. 

A wide array of communications features is available for the standard user, features that mirror those offered with the standard PBX (News - Alert). All capabilities with this fixed mobile convergence environment are easily accessible and always reliable. At the same time, the company enjoys the cost-effective operation and communication over WiFi and cellular networks.

The Thrupoint fixed mobile convergence (FMC) client and the Thrupoint FMC server make up the Thrupoint solution. The mobile phone or smartphone receives the client installation to allow users direct access to all the features they rely on with standard calling.

Fast navigation is enabled through an interface that is easy-to-use. The client also incorporates a mobility manager to guarantee this fixed mobile convergence offering delivers continuous and transparent connections. The manager monitors the viability of every active network link while also collaborating with the fixed mobile convergence (FMC) server when making decisions on roaming.

Thrupoint’s fixed mobile convergence solution is designed to provide managed mobility services at a local level with the ability to integrate with the existing PBX. Smartphones will behave like IP desk phones once the FMC server is successfully installed on the corporate network. Employees then gain access to cost-effective options for mobility without a complete overhaul of the current system.

The FMC server also incorporates a management server to deliver easy administration. This mobility management service enables efficient network connection monitoring, while also driving the proactive identification of the optimal network connection for each call to properly support an increasingly mobile workforce.
