Fixed Mobile Convergence

Fixed Mobile Convergence


Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) based on Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture gives service providers the flexibility to rapidly deploy new secure services in an economical manner, without significant increase to capital or operating expenses. Once the common IP backbone is in place, operators can rapidly deploy new services by adding very few new products to their IMS-FMC network in order to support those services—incurring only incremental capital and operating expenses in the process. Because the IMS-FMC architectural framework defines the infrastructure used to support services but not the services themselves, operators have tremendous flexibility to use their own market expertise, creativity, and existing network assets to deploy compelling communications services.

Juniper Networks is a market leader in building flexible, service-oriented service provider networks. Whether you are a wireless or wireline service provider, an intelligent, secure, and open transport infrastructure with products from Juniper Networks will enable your organization to adapt easily as technologies evolve, allowing you to deliver a sustainable set of innovative and secure services.


 

Description

Juniper Networks provides intelligent, secure, and open IMS-FMC solutions via session- and policy-based IP transport and resource control that dynamically configures sessions based on service and access requirements and by securing all layers of the IMS-FMC network. In addition, a commitment to open, standards-based interfaces and joint development and testing facilitates integration with partner and third-party solutions.

Juniper Networks has been helping service providers build IMS-FMC-type networks for years through our Service Provider Infranet Framework, a layered approach to network architecture aligned with ETSI TISPAN. Juniper Networks' T-series, M-series, E-Series routers, Integrated Security Gateways (ISGs) with Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP), and SDX policy, resource and admission control systems continue to extend capabilities to further meet the needs of service providers while conforming to 3GPP and TISPAN standards.

Securing Converged Networks

The foundation of the secure converged network is a common, hardened infrastructure with logical separation of services and traffic into virtual groups that are secured from one another. Juniper is an industry leader with a full range of security products that protect the network infrastructure, network users, and devices from internal and external threats and secure all layers of the IMS-FMC architecture. Juniper Networks converged network products provide security for the IMS-FMC Transport, Control and Services and Application planes. Juniper Networks T-series and M-series routing platforms share a common architecture that separates routing, forwarding, and services functions to protect and scale each key system component. Advanced network security features deliver industry-leading control-plane protection, so that software stability can never be compromised by DoS, DDoS, and other packet flooding attacks, and the console port is always available to enter new filters. Juniper Networks firewall and IDP products provide additional layers of protection to the converged network, by enabling secure zones and defending against application-level attacks.

Intelligent Network Solutions for IMS-FMC Architectures

Carriers can use Juniper's policy management, Call Admission Control (CAC), QoS-based policy enforcement, and other traffic processing capabilities to layer value-added IP applications on top of their basic mobile and wireline connectivity. Juniper Networks policy and control products perform policy management, QoS, Service Level Assurance (SLA), call admission control (CAC), and network policy assembly as defined by IMS-FMC architectural specifications. Policy and control products monitor the IP transport network, dynamically adjusting policies to allow, prioritize, and even block network traffic based on user, service, and network demands.

Seamless Integration via Standards-Based Interfaces

Juniper Networks' intelligent, secure and open IMS-FMC solutions comply fully with 3GPP and TISPAN standards to ensure that service providers will continue to enjoy unparalleled flexibility as they deploy new services over time. Juniper is a member of the IMS Forum and a founding member of the IPsphere Forum and is committed to non-proprietary and open standards as defined by 3GPP, 3GPP2, TISPAN, ITU-T, IETF and other standards bodies. Juniper Networks’ IMS-FMC solutions feature 3GPP- and TISPAN-defined standard interfaces via DIAMETER and COPS toolkits. Juniper also supports the IMS-FMC visions of our partners by interfacing with the Call Session Control Function (CSCF) and Access Resource Admission Control Function (A-RACF) for integration with third-party solutions.

This customer brochure is aimed at both Fixed and Mobile service providers and describes Junipers' IMS-FMC solutions offerings, providing a very high-level overview of how Juniper products enable service provider evolution to IMS-FMC networks.

Smooth Evolutionary Path to Converged Networks

A mobile IP backbone based on Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is the key to reliably and cost-effectively offering a mix of new voice, data, and multimedia services. As an added benefit, this IP/MPLS mobile packet backbone network will also help smooth the evolutionary path to new IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)-based Fixed Mobile Converged (FMC) services.
