  dual network devices with hand-off for both CS
  PS services
• Features
• accessing to GSM/GPRS services through dual
  network devices over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
• hand-off between heterogeneous networks for both
  CS PS services
• security (authentication, integrity and
  confidentiality)
• enabling to connect to multiple access points
  (i.e. work. home)
• evolution towards UTRAN access (3G phones) inside
  the 3GPP
• Technical requirements
• UMA network controller (UNC) as an interworking
  element in the mobile access network
• UMA compliant dual-mode terminals

A lot of effort on Voice Services on Wi-Fi or
Bluetooth

• Examples from the market (both residential and
  business customers.)
• ALICE MIA from Telecom Italia with Aladino
  Wi-Fi phone
• KT Freetel DU
• NTT DoCoMo / NEC N900iL
• But essentially a lot of interest for Voice over
  IP and VoIP over Wi-Fi
• An expected increase in revenue from VAS services
• Games, Browsing, Messaging, Infotainment, m2m,
  Mobile Office

20
is VoWi-Fi a part of FMConvergence?

• VoWi-Fi is an opportunity to catch, but be aware
  that
• technology must consolidate
• still problems in QoS
• still few clients and a battle to be first in the
  market
• Some do benefit from it
• Fixed Operators to contrast the lose of
  minutes in favor of mobile
• Some Phone Vendors trying to exceed the offering
  of other competitors
• Some vendors are starting with Wi-Fiintegration
  for data and later for VoIP
• Some others dont
• Many Mobile Operators dont
• There are already some interesting
  Mobileoffering potentially coping with VoWi-Fi
• Vodafones Wireless Office
• TIMs Centralino Mobile
• O2s surf_at_home

21
Which are the SME Corporate expectations?

• voice
• cooperative services
• IT applications

• context awareness

• remotisation
• usage transparency

• security

• QoS
• bandwidth/latency
• SLA

• personalisation (home vs outdoor)

• convergence in terms of
• services
• billing-management
• terminals

with perceived advantages...
Not only Voice Services Value Added Services are
needed
22
Relating requirements

• On Next Generation Services
• Highly interactive
• Multimedia
• Ubiquitous
• Adaptive
• Network transparent
• Context Sensitive
• Personal (identity related)
• Private, Safe and Trustable
• Controllable and Accountable

• On Next Generation Networks
• Cheap
• Wireless
• Broadband
• Cooperative(different networks cooperating)
• Transparent
• Virtual
• Programmable
• QoS-able
