Fixed mobile convergence
Fixed mobile convergence offer greater revenue potential for MSOs
Cable operators have realized significant profits from the bundling of cable, Internet and telephony services in recent years. Fixed mobile convergence (FMC) now promises to add a fourth service to this package: mobility. Mobile users are increasingly using their cell phone at home instead of their "land line". A fixed mobile convergence offering allows customers to use their cell phone via the cable operator's wireless access point. By blending fixed and mobile phone services, cable operators can drive down the cost of telephony for the consumer, increase market share, and generate more revenue.

As more and more MSOs are considering investing in fixed mobile convergence, ARRIS is leading the way in providing the technology for cost-effective deployment.
