BridgePort Networks' Fixed Mobile Convergence Applications
Showcased
BridgePort Networks will be showcasing a variety of MobileVoIP
applications at their booth #3500 that demonstrate the ongoing
maturation of Fixed Mobile Convergence:
IMS Voice Call Continuity (VCC)
The world's first implementation of the emerging IMS standard
for "Voice Call Continuity." The solution, currently in market
trials, enables operators to offer single phone number voice
services that maintain an in-process voice call across both
cellular and Wi-Fi networks. Providing a true business case
for IMS deployments, BridgePort Networks' IMS Convergence
Server (ICS) implements VCC, supports both GSM and CDMA
networks, and is available for commercial deployment this
year.
Additionally, the solution is supported by a variety of
devices and client software companies that have implemented
support for single number dual-mode telephony, SIP-based VoIP,
security and seamless handover, including BridgePort Networks'
partners: E28 and PCTEL.
Kyocera and Boingo Wireless Dual Mode MobileVoIP Telephony
Kyocera and Boingo -- also members of MobileIGNITE -- have
collaborated with fellow member BridgePort Networks to
showcase a Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) solution that
ensures interoperability and a seamless user experience. The
trio of companies will demonstrate a BREW-based dual-mode
handset, with integrated public Wi-Fi roaming, addressing the
growing market for WLAN-enabled handsets.
BridgePort Networks' NomadicONE Network Convergence Gateway
connects the VoIP and CDMA network environments to enable the
use of a single mobile number for voice calls and messages
across both environments.
The demonstration can be viewed at the Kyocera booth #5426
North Hall 2 and the BridgePort Networks booth #3500 Hall
C1/C2.
MobileSTICK Turns Laptop Into A Mobile Phone
BridgePort Networks' MobileSTICK application, based on joint
collaboration with Oberthur, turns a laptop into a mobile
phone. The MobileSTICK solution, targeted at the mobile
workforce, enables users to place and receive calls from their
PC or laptop using their mobile phone numbers. The MobileSTICK
application is housed in a USB key, contains an embedded SIM
card, and can be branded by the service provider.
MobileSTICK leverages BridgePort Networks' SoftMOBILE
solution, and a partnership with Oberthur Card Systems, to
make users always reachable over an Internet connected
endpoint (i.e. soft client, IP phone, etc.) or mobile phone
using a single identity without a separate VoIP or landline
number.
Microsoft (R) Live Communication Server Integration
BridgePort Networks and 724 Solutions -- both members of
MobileIGNITE -- will demonstrate their combined MobileVoIP
solution, which bridges a person's mobile phone number
identity, presence, phone calls and messages to the user's
desktop running Microsoft Office Communicator 2005 client
software, extending the reach of Microsoft Live Communications
Server 2005.
