As carriers deploy next generation networks for Fixed/Mobile Convergence, they face the problem of merging their data and voice networks without compromising security. To support the new, evolving communications technologies needed takes more than moving from 3G networks to a converged IP infrastructure. It means providing the same robustness and reliability shown today. It means building a flexible, adaptable architecture to support technologies that are still evolving. And, most importantly, it means building in advanced security to enable these new technologies without jeopardising the end customers’ information. Because convergence means your protected carrier core network will now be exposed to the public Internet and the threats that it carries.
