What the project will achieve

To provide customers with high value content, services and ever feel experiences with converged solutions, Chunghwa Telecom (CHT) and other worldwide partners declare their plan to deliver triple-play services to customers with Fixed-Mobile convergence technologies. In other words, Chunghwa will be able to roll out a wide variety of new and compelling services to subscribers in a cost-effective way.

Why it needs to be done

The FMC solution will be deployed turnkey, including network implementation and system integration services to ensure the smooth migration. About our OSS/BSS domain, however we are speeding to figure out a best solution to fulfil more and more services over service providers’ delivery platform. For example, CHT had won the rights to broadcast the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing over IPTV and mobile TV platforms in Taiwan. LBS are already introduced to our customers and be a very successful VAS over 3.5/3.5G mobile devices in Taiwan.

The main purpose for this catalyst project is how to deliver Fixed-Mobile converged services over new generation OSS/BSS architecture on service enabler and charger to NGN. It means we have to face new NGN adapting to current OSS/BSS architectures and networks. Policies and management methodologies will be changed. And the most important is ubiquitous services over unlimited access devices for customers will also be our challenges and key to keep successful in the NGN world.
