Aruba enters fixed mobile convergence market

07.11.2006

In 2008 Aruba will comply with the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), a 3GPP standard that will serve to create a converged IP-based network with a common architecture.

There are a number of benefits to the enterprise, said DeBeasi, one of which is in saving cellular minutes and cellular charges, and the other is superior coverage.

"When you go from cellular into a building, the cellular coverage is not that great, but if the phone transitions to Wi-Fi users will get better coverage," he said.
