Tele-Communication (Telecom) Terms Glossary and Dictionary
Network Convergence
Network convergence refers to using packet network to conduct voice (telephony), video and data services, and phasing out the traditional circuit switched PSTN (Public-Switched Telephone Network) gradually. The migration process from two separate data and voice to finally a complete converged packet network carrying both voice and data services may take decades to finish. The driving forces behind such migration are cost saving, operation efficiency and new services deployment.
