Convergence Defined: The transmission of voice, video and data communications over a single physical connection.
A true end-to-end converged environment allows an enterprise to see the benefits of a holistic approach to networking -- a single, secure, less costly, scalable, any-to-any network.
True convergence is comprised of these critical elements in an end-to-end solution:
- Local Area Network (LAN) convergence.
- Access Convergence (DSL, WiFi and Ethernet).
- Service Convergence (application convergence supported by OSS/BSS).
- Value Added Applications (IP-based voice, video and data applications).
