October 2002 - At the Broadband World Forum in Berlin,
Germany, Nokia is showcasing a truly integrated solution
that will allow operators to bring mobility to their
broadband service offering today. The Nokia demonstration
shows how broadband operators can enjoy the first benefits
of a converged service portfolio that can provide subscriber,
terminal and service mobility across their broadband
networks.
The
show demonstration network combines the Nokia D500 multiservice
access broadband platform, the Nokia Operator WLAN Access
Point and Controller, Nokia Intelligent Edge solutions
and the Nokia Authentication Server into a network that
shows how broadband operators and service providers
can introduce mobility services to their broadband subscribers.
"As
broadband operators look to improve the profitability
of their service offerings, introducing mobility into
the portfolio will allow greater access for subscribers
and thus greater revenue potential for operators, "
says Ari Lehtoranta, Vice President, Broadband Systems,
Nokia Networks. "Converged services are an as-yet untapped
revenue generator for broadband fixed operators."
Subscriber,
terminal and service mobility using username/password
authentication and personal user profiles demonstrates
how users can access their service from any location,
whether on their own wired or wireless PC/laptop at
home or on a friend's PC/laptop elsewhere. Even if the
friend has a lower service level, Nokia's solution allows
users to access their own service level.
The
Nokia demonstration network also shows how user mobility
can be achieved based on roaming using SIM authentication.
A mobile subscribers who have no fixed broadband account
can still access their SIM-based services via their
own or a friend's PC/laptop terminal if the subscriber's
mobile operator has a commercial agreement with the
fixed network operator.
