Short clip: The age of mobility

>> How do you embed mobility into telicommon? phonetic And I, I guess we're really talking about the converge network. And, and maybe you can define, will you give your definition of converge network?

>> Well what I think what we're seeing is convergence happen in a couple of ways. One is voice and data, the sort of traditional convergence we've heard about historically a number of times. That's very real today. The other part that's becoming very common is the mixing of mobility with what, what would have been more traditional wire line services. Making them available in the office, then immediately also allowing them to be available as you wonder about in, say wireless environment. So that, that gives a new transition inaudible.

>> So an example of that would be the kind of content services that we're seeing

>> Correct. Content. Content would be very important with the ability to have hands sets or devices that will give you VOIP over WiFi in one facility at the next, next juncture we'll run on a cellular network and do that seamlessly maintaining sessions, maintaining conversations. That kind of ability is becoming very attractive to organizations.
