UCStrategies.com Announces Fixed Mobile Convergence White Paper for the Enterprise

New objective assessment and analysis of the full range of
fixed-mobile convergence solutions enterprise users can deploy to
begin realizing the benefits of mobile unified communications
ST. HELENA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
UCStrategies.com announced the availability of a new white paper
titled Fixed Mobile Convergence Options for the Enterprise, by Michael
F. Finneran of dBrn Associates, Inc., one of the leading analysts in
wireless. The paper can be downloaded from the UCStrategies.com web
site (www.ucstrategies.com).

Mobility is one of the key drivers in unified communications, as
more people perform their jobs outside of their offices at least part
of the time. The business challenge is to provide those mobile workers
with tools that will allow them to stay connected, productive, and
accessible in this new dynamic business environment. Fixed mobile
convergence (FMC) solutions will be key in realizing those goals.

Fixed-mobile convergence describes a range of systems that seek to
integrate cellular with private wired or wireless networks, allowing
calls and other communications to be passed transparently between the
networks. While many associate FMC solely with solutions that combine
cellular and Wi-Fi capability in a single handset with the ability to
hand off live connections between them, in reality, those dual mode
Wi-Fi/cellular solutions represent only one of several FMC solutions
that are available today.

"One of the biggest impediments to deploying fixed mobile
convergence today," says Mr. Finneran, "is that users fail to consider
the full range of alternatives and do not fully understand the
capabilities and limitations of these options." The result is that
good options often go untapped and users are saddled with inconvenient
solutions that fail to provide the benefits they were supposed to
deliver.

This paper identifies the core benefits of FMC, and provides an
organized and objective assessment of the available options. The
author, Michael Finneran, specializes in mobile unified communications
and is the author of the new book Voice over Wireless LANs-The
Complete Guide.
