According to Evollab market research, there are five major trends that are going to draw the course of future development of global Information & Communication Technology (ICT) industry for next one decade or so. These trends can be summarized as (a) dominance of advanced wireless technologies (b) broadband proliferation (c) End to End IP Convergence (d) Ubiquitous & all pervasive communications and (e) emergence of an “Information Society”.
Convergence holds the key for evolution of a true “Information Society” where every individual and every thing is digitally interconnected in their personal, social and work lives. Convergence it self is a quite intricate phenomenon and has affected a shift in the traditional telecom value chain.
To overcome the challenges due to convergence and to continue to retain their strong position in the telecom value chain the telecom operators need to adopt Transformation. “Transformation as defined by Evollab is evolutionary processes that addresses the challenges of the convergence and provides for an innovative business model & new revenue generating streams that assure reduced costs & sustained profitability for the operators”.
To adopt transformation, the operators need to look at their business strategy, business model, service portfolio and network architecture. The network will adopt E2E IP-FMC architecture. To realize “E2E IP-FMC” architecture, telecom networks are set to under-go large scale revamp across all layers of the network. Network will become independent of the service layers. The essence of E2E IP-FMC (Fixed Mobile convergence) is in building an “information society”. In real sense E2E IP-FMC brings mobility to broadband internet.
To successfully adopt transformation the service providers need to find right partners like Evollab who have strong technological competence and experience in wireless, wire line, and IP networks and who can provide reliable services to enable them to command a leading position in the market.
