Solution Combines the Highest Voice QoS with the Economies of VoIP
2/2/2005 -- Veraz Networks Launches Wireless Network Compression Solution Enabling Wireless Operators to Avoid Expensive Leased Networks. Veraz Networks announced the launch of its new Wireless Network Compression solution that allows wireless carriers and service providers to benefit from VoIP, when they are required to transport calls over leased lines. In India, as well as many other countries, wireless operators are required to interconnect their Mobile Switching Centers over expensive leased circuits. By using Verazs Wireless Network Compression solution, wireless operators are able to dramatically lower their operational costs by using significantly high quality compressed VoIP to transport calls when they are required to lease circuits as is often the case when interconnecting sites across regulated borders.
The Veraz Wireless Network Compression solution provides VoIP Trunking for the most demanding voice applications and the most rigorous environments that are often found in emerging markets such as India. In addition to the high quality compression and echo cancellation, the Wireless Network Compression solution features silence suppression with superior Voice Activity Detection (VAD) and Comfort Noise Generation (CNG), and intelligent packet loss concealment (PLC) with low-delay and non-blocking.
"For mobile operators, our solution actually enables them to significantly lower the toll that they currently pay, and thus provide much more competitive rates to their customers," said Amit Chawla, Executive VP, Global Marketing at Veraz Networks.
Increased Availability of IP Phones Emphasizes Emergence of VoIP
December 15, 2004 -- According to an In-Stat/MDR research firm report called IP Phones and the Emerging VoIP Markets, as the VoIP market emerges, distinct market segments are taking shape. The study reveals that a wide variety of IP phones and other end point devices are being developed to offer access to current VoIP services and future integrated voice/data/video multimedia applications. We have all seen this segment of the market soar with the creation of hybrid devices that combine the power of cellular and WiFi networks connectivity combined. Analysts believe that as a result, IP phone shipments are expected to experience a 43 percent growth rate in 2004 alone.
"VoIP holds the promise of integrating voice communications with other technologies to create a set of customized and personalized applications," said Keith Nissen, a senior analyst with In-Stat/MDR. "Where today's services are associated with a connection or a device, VoIP services will be associated with the subscriber, and will be accessible from any device, anywhere, over wireline or wireless access networks."
Wi-Fi Enabled Phones Are About to Swamp the Market
10 December 2004 -- Wireless devices will swamp the market this year, says ABI Research. Wireless LAN-enabled mobile phones and handhelds are on the way, whether network administrators are ready for them or not.
ABI Research raised its forecast for this year's shipments of wireless handsets in a new report, and predicted that Wi-Fi enabled phones are about to swamp the market, creating fresh complications for enterprises managing wireless LANs.
The proliferation of Wi-Fi data devices poses security questions for system administrators, according to industry experts - the cheapness of access points and the fact that WLAN chipsets are now found in most business laptops means that unauthorised WLAN usage is now a fact of life in businesses. The increase in Wi-Fi devices is likely to increase the need for security equipment designed to monitor and lock down wireless networks. Last week, Engim and Airmagnet launched what they call the first access point reference design with a built-in security sensor; the device could show up in other vendors' Wi-Fi systems next year.
Wireless VoIP poses other problems; it means increased numbers of users with less predictable roaming patterns, placing more capacity demands on the Wi-Fi infrastructure, experts say. For some businesses it may be necessary to bring in a higher-density WLAN with the ability to distinguish between voice and data traffic and manage the quality-of-service issues associated with VoIP, industry analysts say.
SIP phone works with SIP servers, IP-PBXs and VoIP devices
November 26, 2004 -- Taiwan - Senao International Co. Ltd has launched a SIP-compliant wireless IP phone, the SI-800H, which interoperates with SIP-based call servers, IP-PBXs and VoIP client devices. The unit is integrated with a single Atmel chip.
The unit complies with IEEE 802.11b and is enabled with 802.11 firmware and voice compression/decompression technologies. It incorporates WEP and WPA. It supports 4-hour talk time and 100-hour standby time. It is equipped with a caller ID, call waiting, call transfer, last-number redial, 100-entry phone book, volume control and multilingual support.
The SI-800H is suitable to use in environments with reliable access to Senao's SI-7800B wireless VoIP access point or any IEEE 802.11b-compliant wireless access points. The phone can be used like a mobile phone.
Nov 21, 2004, - TOKYO (AP) -- Japan's top mobile carrier has begun marketing a cell phone that can make Internet calls over Wi-Fi wireless networks in addition to regular ones. The dual-network N900iL phone from NTT DoCoMo can switch back and forth as needed.
It uses third-generation, or 3G, technology, which relays data at faster speeds than most cell phones in use today. When users are inside their office building and within reach of a corporate Wi-Fi system, the phone also runs Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP. Such combined-network phones are still rare. Nokia Corp., the world's largest mobile phone maker, has said it is introducing such a handset next year.
Sourcing Report: Internet Telephone Makers Cut Costs to Sustain Staple Market
November 12, 2004 - With lowered prices, due to local component sourcing and in-house protocol adoption, companies foresee increased production and sales volumes Taiwan's communication and networking industry has been performing strongly in the past few years, with production value reaching $6.6 billion in 2003, up 19 percent over the previous year, according to the Industrial Economics and Knowledge Center (IEK) of the island's Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI). With the exception of VoIP products, strong segments included mobile phones, WLAN products and GPS devices.
VoIP products such as IP phones in particular have not achieved full product maturity, but VoIP's potential has carved steady markets. Most Taiwan companies in the line produce an average of 1,000 to 2,000 units annually, but they are optimistic that by bringing costs down, production volumes will quickly pick up. Welltech Computer Co. Ltd, for instance, which sold about 2,000 of its IP phones for about $100 each FOB in Q3 2004, plans to increase output to 10,000 units or more in Q4 once it starts to produce models that cost $50 per unit.
WiFi, USB phones on the rise Several other IP telephony technologies have caught on. WiFi phones, which work like cordless IP phones, comply with 802.11x standards. According to Leo Guo, assistant vice president of ACT's sales and marketing division, the company has already developed an 802.11b-compliant telephone for its Japanese ODM customer. The model comes with a 2.2-inch TFT LCD and supports SIP. It also uses the firm's own protocols. The product needs a WLAN access point to hook up to the Internet.
USB phones are also on the rise. These largely software-based units plug into PC and can be used either as IP or PSTN phones. The units are also cost less, only about $15 to $20 each, FOB. One such product, Welltech's K-1010 USB phone, can support free PC-to-PC calls or prepaid PC-to-phone calls using its application software or using Microsoft NetMeeting.
Welltech's Chen predicts that in the years to come, PCs will also function as PBXs within companies and SOHOs. "IP and digital PBX will become the main phone switching standard in the future. With the right software, users will be able to control call switching. Ethernet will become the de facto interface between PCs and communications products."
Nov 11, 2004, - Siemens have announced the availability of a range of handsets that work with VoIP (Voice over IP) software, Skype.
Simply by plugging the USB adapter into a computer running an updated version of Skype, home and business users will be able to make calls using a cordless handset. Calls to other Skype users will be free and calls to International landlines can be made at very low cost using SkypeOut.
For those of you who like model numbers - the Siemens Gigaset M34 USB PC adapter works with the recently launched Gigaset C340/345 and Gigaset CX340/345isdn, Gigaset S440/445 and Gigaset SX440/445isdn, Gigaset S645 and Gigaset SL440.
The handset range is, in itself, pretty impressive featuring some with built-in cameras capable of sending MMS and others able to do Instant Messanging (IM). Remember, these are not cellular phones, but are for home or office use.
The real strength of this deal is that normal, average home users will be able to use VoIP, using a hand-set that is familiar to them. They won't have to go to their computer to make a Skype call and dig deep into software.
FCC Chairman Michael Powell: "Streamlining Regulation of VoIP Companies is Key to Growth"
November 9, 2004 WASHINGTON (AP) U.S. regulators ruled Tuesday that providers of Internet-based phone call services fall under the jurisdiction of the federal government, exempting them from some key regulation by states. VoIP technology shifts calls away from wires and switches and instead uses computers to convert sounds into data and transmit them via the Internet.
The Federal Communications Commission voted 5-0 in favor of Vonage Holdings Corp. of Edison, N.J., which had asked the agency to declare the company's product an interstate service, giving the FCC regulatory control. Vonage has been battling public utilities officials in Minnesota who want the company to register in the state as a telecommunications service, subjecting it to rate regulation and other state rules.
The FCC ruling applies to cable, phone and other companies offering an Internet phone service similar to the one Vonage provides. The decision does not, however, preclude states from imposing some taxes and fees. It also does not address access charges, which are fees paid to local phone companies for completing calls sent via the Internet to conventional phones.
Vonage also had asked the commission to certify it as an information service, instead of a telecom company. Such a move would have a profound impact on the industry because it would mean providers of Voice over Internet Protocol, known as VoIP, wouldn't have to pay the taxes and fees that traditional phone companies do. The commission did not rule on that request.
FCC Chairman Michael Powell said streamlining regulation of VoIP companies is key to growth of the fledgling industry.
Nov 1, 2004, - BT has had a Vonage-like Voice over IP telephone service called Broadband Voice out for a little while now, and while we don't have a huge amount of confidence in a big bloated company like them being ahead of the curve...
they are making some noise about introducing a new cellphone with built-in WiFi next year thatll be able to make VoIP calls from any hotspot and thatll be able to automatically switch between cellular and WiFi networks. Lets just hope its a little less hobbled than Motorolas CN620 WiFi phone, which most people cant use because they decided to make it only work with special proprietary WiFi equipment.
Killer alliance for WiMAX - Intel & Craig McCaw's Clearwire
11/01/2004 - Two of the most powerful forces behind WiMAX, Intel and Craig McCaw's Clearwire start-up, have formed a partnership aiming to accelerate development of 802.16 networks. The two companies will work together on technology development and network deployment, and Intel's venture capital arm has made a "significant", though unspecified, investment in Clearwire.
McCaw set up Clearwire earlier this year with the aim of building a national broadband wireless network and, before the Intel deal, had raised $160m from private investors. Incorporated in the new company are the original Clearwire entity, which ran local services around Florida; NextNet, the pre-WiMAX equipment maker; and various spectrum holdings that McCaw has been buying up over the past year. McCaw expects to have live services in 20 US markets next year and is also looking to the European auctions of 3.5GHz spectrum to expand there for the first time. The first territory to go live was Jacksonville, Florida, last summer and next month this will be followed by St Cloud, Minnesota and Abilene, Texas.
Voice will be critical to the strategy. McCaw understands intimately how the cellular wireless market works, and argues that he can exploit this awareness at Clearwire, with the benefit of the cost savings that come from designing a technology from the ground up. "We know the cellular market very well and how 3G works," he told the CTIA conference. "Our partnership will show a definite cost advantage, since this is designed from the bottom up." Having helped set in motion the wireless revolution that disrupted wireline operators' voice revenues so badly, he is now poised to help repeat the exercise, this time challenging cellular and wireline with VoIP over WiMAX.
Though, of course, McCaw toed the WiMAX community line, insisting that the technology is complementary with 3G rather than disruptive to it. "No one technology wears out," he told the audience. "Look at Western Union. They're moving money for al-Qaida now." While talking up VoIP over WiMAX, he was careful not to take on the cellcos head-to-head not yet at least. "The fairest way to run yourself out of business is to take on an incumbent with vast revenue and lots of customers. The question is how can we be different and not do what they are doing. We're targeting different markets," he said.
This is somewhat disingenuous. There are certainly markets where cellular will remain the best option for many years with its high mobility, extensive coverage and convenient handsets. However, the plum new revenue streams that the cellcos are targeting are well within WiMAX' grasp. Even if data users are prepared to accept the slower speeds of 3G compared to 802.16, they will force operators to respond to WiMAX' flat rate pricing, once they have been taught by Wi-Fi and broadband wireless that they do not need to stay within the operator walled garden any longer
11/01/2004 - If you've been wondering what the impact of the FCC's deliberations on VoIP will mean to your business, this is the session you must attend. "My hope is that the dialogue among the various representatives of VoIP providers and vendors will allow us to tease out the business-related aspects of the regulatory issues," says VoIP Policy Update session leader Rick Whitt, vice president of federal law and policy for MCI.
Whitt says 911 is a good example of the regulations that could be imposed on VoIP. "The question is, are VoIP providers going to be required to abide by the existing technical requirements that local exchange carriers and CLECs are required to abide by when they provide local services? That's potentially a huge issue for some VoIP providers," he explains.
Boingo Wireless And Vonage Team To Simplify Wireless VoIP Services
Oct. 18, 2004 - Boingo Wireless and Vonage Holdings Corp., the leading broadband telephony provider in North America, today announced a relationship that teams two industry innovators in an effort to simplify voice over Wi-Fi services and make them more accessible to customers. In the first phase of their partnership, the companies have agreed to co-market a service bundle that includes Vonages SoftPhone service and Boingo's Wi-Fi service.
Wireless VoIP is an outgrowth of the dramatic success of enterprise and consumer VoIP services, which shuttle telephone calls across the Internet rather than using the traditional circuit-switched telephone network. Analysts estimate that growth in wireless VoIP will be spurred on by the growth of public Wi-Fi networks and the availability of Wi-Fi enabled phones due to hit the market by the end of the year.
October 13, 2004 In a confirmation of what many level-headed folks have been saying in the cellular industry for years, Wi-Fi will supplement scarce 3G spectrum to overload voice traffic: The technical head of SBC reveals what some had guessed part of his strategy might be. Among many prongs, SBC has aggressively pushed Wi-Fi gateways into homes, and gone from zero to 60 in the hotspot market by signing a massive client (The UPS Store), and becoming the first McDonald's/Wi-Fi World partner with Wayport.
Now, CTO Chris Rice says that Cingular will offer phones by 2006 that switch voice from Wi-Fi to cellular automatically. This kind of handoff will effectively Cingular more spectrum, as Rice puts it in this Reuters interview. Rice seems to be saying--as Carlo Longino points out--that the Cingular phones would use whatever SBC Wi-Fi was available, whether in private homes or at hotspots. That's a strange idea, but with 802.11e (quality of service) and Wi-Fi gateways that supported it, the Cingular phones could conceivably override a SBC's DSL subscriber's own data packets for priority! Very very odd idea, and we'll see if a clarification is made on that front.
SBC will offer a Wi-Fi/cell phone to businesses first, and work with them to install the right VoIP equipment in house, starting in 2005. In 2006, they'll offer consumer-based Wi-Fi/cell switching.
VoIP to reach 12 million U.S. homes, researcher claims
Oct 07, 2004 WAYNE, N.J. - Voice-over-IP telephony will grow from approximately 400,000 U.S. homes in 2004 to 12.1 million by 2009, according to a new report by JupiterResearch. In a report titled ""Broadband Telephony: Leveraging Voice Over IP to Facilitate Competitive Voice Services", JupiterResearch said that VoIP service providers face two key challenges. Traditional carriers have a strong, well-established customer base and wireless telephony has been adopted by the younger generation. Current consumer telephony preferences will create challenges for VoIP start-ups establishing themselves in the market.
Despite the challenges, the researchers said VoIP telephony will reach 10 percent of U.S. homes over the next five years. Additionally, the firm said that 17 percent of broadband subscribers will sign up for VoIP phone services.
But, the key to this growth will lie in the startup community. "Just like we saw with DSL five years ago, VoIP start-ups will be extremely important in jump-starting the market, and will motivate established carriers to develop their own VoIP services," said Joe Laszlo, senior analyst at JupiterResearch.
August 24, 2004 - Vonage is teaming up with gear makers Linksys and Netgear to make voice over Internet Protocol service available through Wi-Fi equipment. Vonage announced the partnerships Tuesday. Vonage's broadband telephony service will be available with two of Linksys' products, a router and a phone adapter. Both products are immediately available.
As expected, the first product to be released as a result of the collaboration between Vonage and Netgear will be a voice-enabled wireless router based on the 802.11g Wi-Fi standard. The router will be available as early as October, Netgear said. Vonage is one of the leaders in the Internet telephony service business, which typically uses VoIP technology. Linksys and Netgear are among the leading makers of wireless networking products.
"Voice is the first real service available over broadband, and this is our initial step into VoIP," Moynihan said. He added that Linksys will take advantage of Cisco's experience with VoIP in the enterprise. Their efforts will lead to consumer handsets that can wirelessly access Wi-Fi networks to make VoIP calls, he said. "Voice is a major driver for Wi-Fi, and the economics really begin to take off when new services are available to future handsets," he said.
August 5, 2004 - Cell phone makers plan to release so-called Wi-Fi phones ahead of schedule, bringing new threats and opportunities to wireless carriers and traditional phone service providers.
The highly anticipated hybrid phones let people make connections using a local wireless Internet access point and seamlessly switch over to a cell phone network whenever necessary. The net result is greater flexibility in mobile communications as well as potential cost savings gained by shifting call minutes that would otherwise count against a cell phone plan onto the Internet.
Jul 28, 2004 - We reported not too long ago about Motorolas WiFi cellphone, the CN620, which according to their FCC documents was supposed to support 802.11 a/b/g. To everyones chagrin (especially the suits this phone was aimed at, no doubt), not only will it not support b and g (for all practical purposes just about the only WiFi networks out there anymore), but to set up a Voice over WiFi network in your office thatll work with these phones will essentially require additional proprietary hardwarewhich you pretty much have to buy from Motorola and their partners. Which means these phones will not work on your standard WiFi hotspot (one of the main attractions of Voice over WiFi), and you can bet your biscuits hotspots around the world arent going to go out of their way to support this phone. Way to go, Motorola - sounds like youre borrowing from Sonys bag of tricks.
Friday, June 25, 2004 Net-2Com Corporation and Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. have jointly announced the development of the world's first wireless IP mobile handset [.jpg image] capable of seamless switching between wireless LAN and public wireless networks. The prototype handset features built-in wireless LAN functions and enables free selection of public wireless networks through inserting various CompactFlash (CF) networking cards, allowing global use.
Friday, June 23, 2004 - Sonus Networks announced that its Insignus Softswitch, featuring the ASX Access Server, now supports voice services on Wi-Fi telephones. Sonus is demonstrating these capabilities in its exhibit at SUPERCOMM 2004. The company is conducting live demonstrations of VoWi-Fi services using the Sonus ASX Access Server and the Pulver Innovations WiSIP handset. The WiSIPTM mobile IP phone is a next-generation intelligent IP communications device that brings SIP-based VoIP communications together with Wi-Fi installations.
Wi-Fi VoIP Phones: IDT uses Wi-Fi to offer cheaper cell service
April 21, 2004 Believe it or not, 43% of U.S. consumers still don't have a cell phone many for budget reasons.
Now, long-distance company IDT is aiming at low- to moderate-income holdouts with a new breed of inexpensive service that offers mobile service but only in certain areas. IDT plans to introduce a semi-mobile phone service that works in areas equipped with Wi-Fi, a popular wireless technology linked to the Internet. The strategy could pose at least a modest threat to the big wireless carriers as it marries two hot new technologies: Wi-Fi and Internet-based phone service.
April 2, 2004 Two Hot Net Technologies Converge for New Mobile Phone Calls
The talk at the VON (Voice On the Net) conference this week in Silicon Valley is not just about Voice over IP (VoIP) technology, but the coming convergence of Wi-Fi wireless LAN technology and VoIP services.That melding is already leading to the development of new products and services, with many more expected later this year.
March 29, 2004 Broadband phone service provider Vonage will make available portable Wi-Fi phones later this year to help defend itself against AT&T's expansion into its market, a Vonage executive said Monday. With the phone, Vonage subscribers can make and receive phone calls within range of Wi-Fi wireless access points normally found in homes, airports, cafes, fast food restaurants and other high-trafficked areas, Executive Vice President Michael Trembolet said. The phone could also work inside any home outfitted with Wi-Fi networks, he said.
For now, Internet telephony services typically promise consumers a smaller phone bill, largely because VoIP providers operate free of any regulations. Connecting phone calls over the Internet also opens the door to advanced communications services that tie voice together with e-mail, instant messaging and videoconferencing--something that Microsoft and others are already working to achieve.
March 2, 2004 "Wi-Fi and VoIP are powerful technologies on their own," said Richard Webb, directing analyst for wireless LANs at Infonetics Research. "But together they are far more powerful. It's sort of like adding one plus one and getting three." Experts say the marriage between VoIP and Wi-Fi is a natural one as companies look for a common infrastructure that will allow workers more flexibility in how they communicate. VoIP over Wi-Fi offers many benefits to corporate users, such as eliminating the need to use valuable cellular airtime within a campus network. What's more, many cellular phones lose their signal when inside steel frame buildings, so Wi-Fi phones would provide better quality of service and reliability. It's especially useful in vertical industries, such as health care, where cellular phones can't be used at all, because they interfere with certain machines.
Network World, 07/28/03, - Voice and wireless Ethernet might seem an odd mix, but for mobile workers or hard-to-wire areas, it can be the perfect combo. While some users say IP voice quality is fine over Wi-Fi, others have adopted proprietary QoS features supplied by Wi-Fi and wireless IP phone makers to make sure of that. At the mining camp, where voice and data contend for Wi-Fi connections, Burns relies on router-based QoS.
