UMTS concept - customers get services anytime, independent of the access technology and the core network. UMTS aims to provide to the user a comprehensive set of services, features and tools, which have the same look and feel whether they are used at home or abroad. Virtual Home Environment (VHE) - ETSI concept - a system concept for service portability across network borders. Relation of VHE concept and FMC concept: - VHE allows a service provider (incl. fixed or mobile network operator) to offer services independent of the core network and access; seamless services both in the fixed and the mobile network. Motivation of VHE. In the UMTS vision, customers get their personalized services anytime and with their familiar user interface, independent of the access technology and the core network used. UMTS aims to provide to the user a comprehensive set of services, features and tools, which have the same look and feel whether they are used at home or abroad. ETSI therefore introduced the Virtual Home Environment concept, denoting a system concept for service portability across network borders. Obviously the VHE concept is strongly relevant to FMC scenarios: VHE allows a service provider (incl. fixed or mobile network operator) to offer services independent of the core network and access; seamless services both in the fixed and the mobile network.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
