iSkoot Rolls Out VoIP Application for Dual-Mode Phones

October 1st, 2006 - Posted in VoIP

iSkoot has introduced the iSkootDuo solution that enables dual-mode phones, supporting GSM/CDMA and WiFi networks, to connect to a variety of VoIP services. The Java-based thin client phone application and network server offer connectivity to services likeSkype , GoogleTalk, AIM, Microsoft Messenger and Yahoo Messenger.

iSkoot’s technology enables VoIP over three different network connections, WiFi, 3G/GPRS data and GSM/CDMA. The application is approximately 100 KB and uses standard resources available on a phone so that a wide variety of devices, including low power CPUs, can utilize the application. Dual-mode phones using iSkootDuo enable users to make phone calls over IP using all three types of networks. WiFi is typically available free, while 3G/GPRS data connectivity is offered for a fixed monthly charge and GSM/CEDMA voice is billed by the local minute.

“By providing Internet calling over all networks, we are making the broadest range of services available to consumers while giving carriers maximum flexibility when it comes to business models,” said Jacob Guedalia, CEO of iSkoot. “Handset manufacturers gain a killer application that leverages the full capability of dual mode phones with the lowest possible resource cost.”

“We leverage existing networks and devices, while other solutions require powerful CPU, memory and high-end devices. Combined with access via all networks we offer a major advantage to carriers, end users and device manufactures, namely that they can enjoy the advantages of fixed-to-mobile convergence without making the large infrastructure investments required in other solutions, such as UMA and IMS,” said Guedalia.
