Telio Adopts Nokia’s Automated Dual Connectivity
October 31, 2006
The convergence of cellular and Internet technologies has reached a stage where the future of mobility will be determined by players that take the next step first. For consumers, using a PC and broadband connection to reach friends and family around the globe has become a familiar procedure. Now with dual mode phones and the increasing availability of home and hotspot wireless LANs (WLANs), consumers can get to the next level with relative ease.
Adding to this mobility evolution, Nokia unveiled its Nokia Service Suite, a software solution which automates both the connectivity over the available access methods like cellular and WLAN, and also provides the preferred location and presence specific services to the user. Telio, a leading European broadband telephony provider, is the first to adopt and deploy the technology for consumers.
Nokia Service Suite is capable of simplifying and economizing any communication application by automating connectivity and achieving the most convenient combination of cellular and WLAN access.
"The combination of Nokia's powerful solution and Telio's flexible technology platform has enabled a whole new world of possibilities that go well beyond VoIP. As a core technology, I see Nokia Service Suite creating a wave of innovation in the mobile industry and revolutionizing the way people will communicate in the future," says Alan Duric, Chief Technology Officer and co-Founder of Telio.
"All the elements are now in place for the public to enjoy a richer, more economical and accessible mobile experience," says Markku Rauhamaa, Vice President of Local Interactions at Nokia Emerging Business Unit.
The possibilities enabled by Nokia Service Suite are already being commercially deployed by service providers like Telio as well as Information and Communications Technology (ICT) companies, including Fujitsu Services Oy.
Equally important, the Nokia Service Suite is an open platform that can be used for other WLAN enabled devices. For example, the Nokia N80 Internet Edition is a multimedia computer optimized for Internet Calls. The VoIP framework, based on SIP-protocol is integrated into its user interface, making an Internet Call on the Nokia N80 Internet Edition as easy as making a regular voice call, only the call is carried over WLAN.
Nokia Service Suite makes its official debut and will be demonstrated at VON Europe Autumn 2006 Conference in Berlin Germany on November 6 - 8.
