The world is Mobile
• LTE broadcast is gaining increased interest as the demand for broadband video grows
• LTE broadcast supports live streaming videos, file delivery, and M2M cases.
• Mobile HD voice offers natural sound quality
• Voice over LTE (VoLTE) provides telecom-grade HD voice, video calling and services on LTE phones with simultaneous high speed data.
• Wi-Fi calling – SIM-based voice services via Wi-Fi.
• Mobile broadband backbone demand is growing.

What is UC?
• Unifies all forms of human and device communications
• Common experience
• Singular path
• Increase integration
• Amalgamate technology and protocol
Static data is updated infrequently but must be read in real-time by many applications
Transactional data defines entities that are derived from transactions and service usage.
Dynamic data is constantly updated as the subscriber interacts with services, manages subscriptions and changes between environments
Operational data enables the end-to-end quality of experience to be controlled and services to function correctly.

Towards 2020: the future of networks
• Fiber reaches a large part of homes and enterprises, it guarantees: – Unlimited bandwidth
– Low cost per bit
– Everywhere connectivity
– flat rate also for mobile
• User is ABC (Always Best Connected) – Transparent Connectivity (user always connected at the lower prices and best bandwidth)
– Strong Integration (at the terminal level) between mobile and fixed networks
– Cognitive Radio (terminals adapt to the available networks)
– Rapid change of Providers
– Dynamic Business Models
– Users connected to smaller, more efficient and cheaper cell
• Importance of Data – Seamless access to personal data
– Capability to dynamically create, aggregate and update personal data
– New data type and data sets
– Integration between real and virtual related data
– User controlled access to data

Towards 2020: the future of networks
• Services strongly related to users and their social
relationships • Identity Management and their association to Biometric techniques
• Different roles and identities per user
• Diminishing role of SIMs
• Fundamental Role of Terminals • Abundance of Storage (1TB in the terminal, toward infinite in the network?)
• High processing Capabilities in the terminals (context controlled locally by the terminal)
• Capability to interoperate will be embedded in terminals and will be downloadable OTA
• Software embedded in the terminal makes the device more a personal service platform
than a product. They will be personalized according to the specific user needs
• Pervasive Communication • Ubiquitous connectivity
• Broad classes of communicating objects (smart object, beacons, smart materials,
sensors, micromachinery, ...)
• Explosion of Augmented Reality and Internet of Things applications
Connectivity is a commodity
Terminals are flexible and personal service platforms
