What is FMC?
FMC or Fixed Mobile Convergence is a communications technology that allows for a seamless hand-off between cellular carriers, PSTN and fixed wireless networks. Fixed Mobile Convergence is an important trend in technology as it represents the integration of networks that were previously separated, allowing for users to move from network to network, without the hassle of ending, re-starting or losing a call or data connection. With Fixed Mobile Convergence, an individual would be able to be on a cellular phone call during the ride into the office and once they arrive at the office, they would not have to continue the call on the cellular network, but would be able to seamlessly “hop-on” to the office wireless network. This could also be extended to allowing a user to use multiple devices on multiple networks while still being on the same call.
