VoIP on Nokia phones
According to Rauno Toivonen, director-marketing, voice solutions products, Espoo, Nokia is planning to launch a mobile that will allow access to SIP-based VoIP services. This will allow callers to access VoIP services provided by ISPs and CATV companies. Cisco Systems and Avaya are working with Nokia on this project in three specific areas; namely IP PBX, hosted IP PBX, and IP Centrex.
The phones will have SIP complaint and Skinny SIP compliant VoIP clients for Avaya and Cisco, respectively. This will allow PBX functionalities such as four-digit calling, conferencing, and call forwarding to be extended to mobile phones.
The phones are expected to be launched in the first half of 2006; they will be dual-mode cellular and WLAN, with the PBX functionality only over the WLAN. The functionality will be extended to the cellular network in the second half of 2006.
