FMC hasbecome an inevitable trend for traditional carriers to evolve into comprehensive carriers. T o meet this requirement, the UMG8900 employs the advanced fixed-mobile converged hardware platform and software platform and supports services of multiple networks such as the UMTS, CDMA, NGN, and IMS networks by integrating functions of the original independent functional entities. In this case, resourceson one UMG8900 canbe shared among dif ferent networks. Ononephysical platform, the UMG8900 can serve as dif ferent functional entities. Thus, the UMG8900 can implement interworking ofbearer resources in the service plane and provide various bearer resources and diversified user access functions. -
In the softswitch architecture, the UMG8900 is controlled by the MSC server . One UMG8900 canbe partitioned into multiple VMGWs. These VMGWs provide functions independently and are managed by softswitches in dif ferent networks. For example, after a UMG8900 is partitioned into two VMGWs, the VMGWs canbe controlled by a fixed softswitch and a mobile softswitch separately so that the FMC application is implemented. The large-capacity and high-performance converged MGW has the following advantages: - The numberof network elements (NEs) is reduced, thus saving the CAPEX.
- The fixed-mobile converged MGW simplifies the network topology and cuts the OPEX by reducing spare parts and implementing integrated maintenance.
- VMGWs can directly interwork with each other , thus reducing the end-to-end delay and improving thevoice quality .
- Resources of dif ferent fields are shared, improving the device usage ef ficiency.
