Convergence definition

Convergence means the definition of network architecture that allows for voice, video, and data communications to run over a single (converged) network.
Convergence means that those lines are blurring. However, convergence is often understood in a shallow manner, as simply the opportunity for owners of one type of delivery system to compete with another type of delivery system, or as the opportunity for content owners to deliver their content using different technologies. In reality, convergence is something far more fundamental. "Deep convergence" is driven by a powerful technological trend -- digitalization. Digitalization means that all of the formerly distinct content types are reduced to a stream of binary ones and zeroes, which can be carried by any delivery platform.9 In practical terms, this means not only that specific boundaries -- between a telephone network and a cable system, for example -- are blurred, but also that the very exercise of drawing any such boundaries must be fundamentally reconsidered or abandoned.
Convergence means a number of very different things in the political and economic discourse of the EU. For a long time it was understood to mean the alignment of (per capita) income between regions or states. Within the EU the notion of cohesion was co-opted for this purpose. In particular with regard to convergence of incomes between regions, which it has pursued since 1973 (first enlargement) with one of its biggest programmes, the structural and regional funds, the EU publishes regular reports.2

More Definitions of Convergence

Convergence means the approximation or alignment of something within the innovation project and something from outside, such as elements of innovation entering the general policy in a sector or vice versa that what generally happens fits well with activities in the innovation project. An example is the state forestry policy in Trentino, which was pursued far after the start of the project. The policy relies on participative forms that fit well to the interaction with stakeholders in the project. Thereby the project suddenly acts as a pilot for major politics. Convergence also includes the fusion of the innovation with something that already exists outside of the project.
Convergence which means to consolidate legal work to a smaller cadre of law firms, was first popularized by DuPont in the 1990s and was subsequently adopted by many companies around the world. Legal departments have been motivated to run convergence processes in order to better manage their outside counsel budgets, leverage their spend, build stronger relationships with fewer law firms, and to implement performance and quality metrics for their outside counsel.
Convergence means the aggregate number of unit sales in Ireland of Permanent Downloads in the form of Audio-Visual Material licensed under this Agreement is the same or greater than the aggregate number of unit sales in Ireland of Permanent Downloads during any period of three Months prior to or ending on 31 December 2009 calculated by reference to not less than 80% of the units of each form of Permanent Download sold and the “Date of Convergence” means the last date of that three Month period. The Licensors shall use reasonable endeavours to inform the Licensee from time to time of the anticipated Date of Convergence.
Convergence means the definition of network architecture that allows for voice, video, and data
Convergence means that the theory describes how countries become, instead of being on a similar policy level (Bennet 1991: 219). Policy convergence is a relatively new theory. Founded in the late eighties it describes how globalization will drive countries to become more similar; through policy convergence. One of the first definitions has been formulated by Kerr: "the tendency of societies to grow more alike, to develop similarities in structures, processes and performances" (1983: 3). In his book he describes how industrial countries tend to become more similar over time. In highly developed countries as in Western-Europe countries are becoming more and more similar when it comes to economic structures, processes and most important performance. As with OCA theory many authors have contributed to the development of convergence theory. One of the sub-theories in this field is the policy convergence hypothesis. Policy convergence hypothesis claims that in advanced industrial countries structures and processes tend to convergence because of policy convergence
Convergence is a trendy word, notably because it is seen as synonym for cost gains and also because it corresponds to the behaviour of end users, who care for the service whatever the technical means (3GPP, WiFi, DSL, fibre…). Beyond the trend, convergence of fixed and mobile networks is a very complex task, because convergence supposes trade-offs to make different things find interest to get closer. When several network domains taken separately are locally optimised (on their own scope), it does not imply that the situation is globally optimised. It is certainly worth accepting only partial optimization of some domains, if this leads to a global optimum for the entire scope. This is precisely COMBO strategy: globally optimising the fixed and mobile networks as a whole, even if this leads to sub-optimal architectures for the fixed network and the mobile network taken separately. Note that COMBO will not develop new physical interfaces, neither wireline nor wireless, but will concentrate on network design and architectures so as to jointly optimise fixed and mobile networks.
Convergence means the integration of different networks into a common digital platform that allows various services to be deployed for example video, audio, text, graphics, data and other new services;
