STOCKHOLM -(Dow Jones)- Finland's Nokia Oyj (NOK) said Wednesday it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Brazilian telecommunications giant Telemar Oi to begin trials of Nokia's Fixed Mobile Convergence solutions.
The Nokia Fixed Mobile Convergence solutions can leverage Telemar's current fixed network to create a converged packet based domain for fixed and mobile services, the company said.
Telemar operates the largest fixed network in South America, with around 15 million subscribers, as well as the Oi branded mobile network, which currently caters to around 8 million subscribers.
The trial employs a comprehensive Nokia end-to-end solution for unified core and converged access networks, as well as Nokia terminals providing multimedia and voice over internet protocol, VoIP, services for both mobile and fixed customers.
The Nokia unified core includes the Nokia IP Multimedia Subsystem for voice calls and multimedia services, the Nokia VoIP Server, and the Nokia MSC Server System.
The agreement also includes testing of the Nokia Unlicensed Mobile Access solution for extending the potential of fixed broadband networks
