Nokia Embraces VoIP
Nokia is all set to intodude core network solutions that leverage the possibilities of IP to expand operators' service portfolios, while keeping full control over their network usage, the company said. "Nokia is embracing the vision of telecommunications that IP is making possible," says Roberto Loiola, Vice President, Marketing & Sales, Networks, Nokia.
"Voice over IP is already a fact of life for many consumers around the world, giving them more opportunities to keep in touch in novel and economical ways. The use of broadband Internet access for voice communication is here to stay", Roberto continued.
The Nokia Communication Suite provides consumers and business users with software that turns their PCs into softphones for accessing a wide range of 'Rich Call' services over broadband connections with one online identity and one billing account, the company claimed. The solution allows operators to offer services across their fixed broadband and 3G mobile broadband networks, bridging these two domains, the company added.
Thanks to IP, Rich Calls can include Voice over IP (VoIP) calls, Video Sharing, video calls, instant messaging, presence, file sharing, and other multimedia services. With the Nokia Communication Suite, users can make and receive VoIP calls and other Rich Calls from their PCs using their existing mobile number. Calls to their mobile number can be answered with either their mobile or PC softphone, Nokia said in a statement.
