SingTel To Trial Mobile VoWLAN
Singapore Telecommunications is putting together a pilot of VoIP over WiFi using dual mode cell phones ahead of a planned commercial service to be launched next year.
The island State already has some 330 SingTel wireless hotspots in place which will be brought into service to allow a select group of SingTel mobile customers to make VoIP calls using a range of Nokia dual mode phones according to this story on mobilised.
The two companies will collaborate on the implementation which will use Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia N80 Internet Edition phones which are capable of making calls over wireless LANs.
"Nokia is pleased to co-operate with SingTel on this industry leading initiative on our range of multiradio mobile devices", said Chris Carr, General Manager, Customer Market and Operations, Nokia Singapore.
