Operators need evolved network architecture to provide users with service connectivity from any device, wherever they are. For users, convenience is a key success factor: converged services need to be seamlessly and intuitively accessible across all devices and networks. For operators, the introduction of new services and additional network capacity must incur minimal additional cost of ownership.

Full Service Broadband architecture is designed to meet these needs across residential and enterprise service offerings. At its core is a reliable, secure and cost optimized transport network. Overlaid on this are a variety of access technologies, each evolving in support of Full Service Broadband, with access heterogeneity handled through multi-access edge capabilities. IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) supports the development and deployment of end-to-end services. User mobility and convenience are enabled through consistent and open User-to-Network Interfaces (UNI), while open Network-to-Network Interfaces (NNI) ensure interoperability with partners such as other operators and enterprises.
