CableLabs CONNEXUS The Nexus for Mobile + Fixed Convergence 01. INTRODUCTION A New Era of Connectivity con·ver·gence noun the process of harmonizing, unifying Network convergence has been occurring for a long time. Today’s evolutionary focus is on the merging of broadband cable and mobile networks. Enabling convergence benefits both operators and end-users. For operators, convergence means improved quality of service and enhanced operational agility. Convergence allows an operator to scale and create opportunities, as well as to monetize their network features and capabilities to deliver differentiated services. For end-users, convergence provides better, simpler service. End-users will always be connected, wherever they are, without having to think or worry about it. They will have network resources always at their fingertips, whenever they need it, to support whatever they might need to do with both current and future applications. Throughout their experience, they’ll know that the network remains secure. Connexus and Convergence Connexus is a collaborative initiative that brings together the industry to deliver impactful converged network solutions. We aim to push to the forefront of innovation, transforming concepts and impossibilities into practical and adoptable everyday uses. To realize the vision of a truly connected future, Connexus is crucial to facilitate industry alignment. With convergence, it will be possible to dynamically signal the converged core so that connectivity can be tailored automatically per user, per device, or even per application. This is customized experience excellence. Nadia Benabdallah Group Network Director Vodafone Italy Introduction The industry has been talking about convergence for a long time.
