According to ABI Research, operators will invest $450 million in capital infrastructure over the next five years and generate $97 billion in service revenue from FMC applications by 2011. To achieve this remarkable return on investment, operators and device manufacturers are working to enable consumers to move across different networks without disrupting voice or data. In order to resolve critical usability issues, install accounting systems that enable network usage billing, and employ security measures that meet consumer privacy demands operators and device manufacturers are relying on proven solutions that support Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) protocols like MOBIKE and Mobile IP as well as proven Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) and Integrated Multimedia System (IMS) technology. As a leading provider of software to the mobility industry, Certicom has the breadth of experience and technology required to support industry efforts to achieve Fixed-Mobile Convergence. Free Webinar Best Practice Approaches to Implementing Either UMA or IMS/SIP for Femtocells In the emerging Femtocell market - which will dramatically increase cell phone usage by boosting indoor signal strength - two implementation technologies are readily available: Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) backhauling and IMS/SIP. For vendors building Femtocells and associated products, either or both may be required depending on carrier requirements. For this reason, it is vital to understand the technical issues relating to both UMA and IMS/SIP. Pulvermedia and Certicom invite you to join a webinar, which does not take sides, instead, it provides an in depth study of both approaches, with a particular focus on signaling and security challenges. Webinar attendees will gain a greater understanding of how to apply existing technology and learn best practice methods for integrating critical Femtocell components. Watch Webinar »
Download Presentation » White Papers Maintaining Security in Fixed Mobile Convergence Applications Security in mobile devices consists of many elements. Regardless of the application, the fundamental issue is rooted in the fact that the IP address assigned to the user device is normally based on the point of network attachment. If the user moves from a cellular network to a WiFi network, the IP address assigned to the device changes. If a user is using an IPsec based Virtual Private Network (VPN) to secure his data connection to the corporate network, changing IP addresses will cause the VPN to terminate, resulting in loss of connectivity. In this paper, we look at how a typical VPN works, what happens in a mobility environment, and how to apply advanced technology solutions to keep the VPN alive. The paper also includes several valuable reference documents for those who want an additional layer of detail. Read White Paper »

See Certicom Solution » Fixed-Mobile Convergence: Critical Issues for Wireline and Wireless Carriers With a guiding vision of enabling people to move seamlessly between WLANs in corporate offices, public hot spots, and homes using the same mobile device, it is unsurprising to find that carriers, handset manufacturers, hardware vendors, and networking solution providers are laying the groundwork for the convergence of Wi-Fi and cellular technologies. Already, leading handset manufacturers like Motorola and Nokia are marketing dual-mode handsets that have both Wi-Fi and cellular capabilities. According to Infonetics Research, the Wi-Fi phone market is expected to reach $3.7 billion by 2009. This is up from $125 million in 2005. And given the strong growth in the market, ABI Research found that wireline and wireless network operators will invest over $450 million in capital infrastructure over the next 5 years for fixed-mobile convergence.

See Certicom Solution » Securing VoIP Networks and Devices VoIP networks and devices are subject to the same long list of potential threats that any IP based network faces. These threats reinforce the need for careful planning of a security strategy when developing a product for the VoIP market. These threats include Denial of Service (DoS), Man-in-the-Middle Attack, Call Hijacking, Call Termination, Password Cracking (brute force and others), Server Impersonation, Eavesdropping, Exception Packet Attacks, Disturbance Call attacks against endpoints, and Call Leaflet attacks. This paper describes methods for protecting against these threats through best practice approaches relating to authentication, data protection, data integrity, and non-repudiation. In addition, this paper explores how to secure the signaling channel, media channel, and the device itself. Read White Paper »
