Reef Point Systems has spread out a blanket for any technology that wants to participate in a fixed-mobile convergence environment and invited service providers to join the party with whatever IMS-based system they plan to use to offer converged services.
The company’s Universal Convergence Gateway (UCG) provides a control point that consolidates all major networks and adheres to all major IP infrastructure standards. If the service is IP-based, it will run across the UCG. Subscribers get admittance to the converged network regardless of the device or network from which they’re accessing it.
This will give service providers a lasso to grab subscribers who might be wandering off their broadband networks to voice applications being delivered by over-the-top providers such as Vonage.
The UCG sits in the IP layer, so when a subscriber enters the network via an FMC effort it’s the first device that’s touched. Since the unit is capable of handling all types of IMS-based transport, it leaves open the possibility of what network the subscribers will use.
