Fixed-Mobile Convergence in the business World

The Fixed-Mobile Convergence market (FMC) could generate revenue of 900 million EUR in 2013 in Western Europe’s five largest markets, and so accounting for 4% of total mobile services revenue. Starting with a detailed inventory of FMC services aimed at businesses and an analysis of the offers being marketed by operators, this report then examines the underlying trends governing the use of FMC.

Key questions
  • What strategies are Europe’s most advanced operators using in their offers?
  • Around which relevant segments is the market being structured (services, customers, etc.)?
  • What forces are driving or impeding the enterprise fixed-mobile convergence market?
  • What will the FMC market be worth in 2013, and what share of the mobile services market for businesses will it have?
  • Analysis of more than 45 FMC offers being marketed by 26 carriers in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK

Business FMC Adoption Remains a Challenge in an Increasingly Mobile World

Fixed mobile convergence (FMC) is viewed differently by many segments of the telecommunications industry. Whether we are talking about transparent hand-offs between cellular and Wi-Fi WLAN networks, or extending IP-PBX capabilities to mobile phones, one thing remains consistent: FMC has had a mixed response from end-users. IT managers, service providers, and integrators may have a good understanding of the benefits FMC provides, but until workers actually use these capabilities, these benefits and associated ROI improvements will go unrealized.

This report updates three years of primary research among business end-users on multiple FMC applications, including dual-mode FMC, twinning, simultaneous ringing, mobile PBX extensions, and find me/follow me VoIP applications. Current and planned adoption of these capabilities is reviewed and contrasted, as well as segmented by size of business, from SOHO to enterprise. Recent activity among industry leaders is reviewed, and 2008-2013 forecasts of worldwide business FMC handset connections and business FMC subscribers are provided. This report provides context to help the reader understand the role of FMC and fixed wireless applications.
