How does FMC work? • Fixed Mobile Convergence easily switches from the land-line server to the cellular server without user interaction. • Session Initiation Protocol is the software that routes incoming calls , anchors them at the Fixed Mobile Convergence server, and the server re-initiates the call toward the subscriber. • The FMC provider decides which network to use and checks availability of the user agent through registration status, giving subscriber the innovative service.
Benefits • Lower cost • Increase profit • Cut physical barriers • Convenience • Increase production • Business/Personal use
