With the "land-grab" of mobile subscriber acquisition largely over, mobile operators are looking to substitute fixed and broadband telephony usage. Fixed providers are fighting back with the advent of a lower cost, IP-based infrastructure complemented by multi-access communication services – services which are available when away from the office or home through WiFi, WiMax, femto-cells and other fixed radio-access networks. Mobile is going fixed just as fixed is becoming more mobile. For all types of operator, the core challenge is the same: how to transition from the existing TDM SS7-based network technologies that are used widely today to a common IP-based core network. With most subscribers using the existing infrastructure, operators have to transition their infrastructure whilst keeping their customers happy.

Rhino Application Server is designed to help operators meet the challenges of today’s telecoms networks:

• Open and standards-based: no vendor lock-in. Telecoms services can be sourced from a wide range of different providers. A vibrant marketplace for telecoms services fosters service innovation and delivers price competition.
• Developer Community: OpenCloud promotes and fully supports a large and growing community of independent Java developers building open telecom services applications based on JSLEE. The OpenCloud developer portal (http://developer.opencloud.com) provides detailed Rhino and JSLEE product documentation, sample applications, product data, benchmarks and recommended configuration information, how-to-guides, technical support, whitepapers, FAQs and developer resources/forums.
• Tremendous price/performance: By harnessing Moore’s law and utilising the commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware, OpenCloud delivers astounding performance and a dramatically lower price-point.
• Service Agility: Currently, telecoms services are basic, utilitarian services. One size fits all. Whereas Operators need fast, low-cost, experimental telecoms application delivery. This allows them to segment their market and offer tailored, targeted services,

On a carrier-grade platform, delivering “five nines” availability, scalability, low-latency and single image cluster management. For SS7 and SIP-based telecoms networks.

OpenCloud Rhino and FMC

With OpenCloud Rhino, fixed, mobile and hybrid telecommunications operators can provide services to users irrespective of their location, access technology, and terminal. Rhino Application Server enables service convergence ahead of the underlying and gradual network convergence. Simple “intelligent network” services such a single voice-mail system across mobile, fixed line, Internet etc. become very straight forward. Targeted, personalized and configurable services that fit specific customer needs can be conceived and realized today ahead of the universal IP connected world of tomorrow.
