| CiceroPhone with Quiconnect's Hotspot Connector Solution Quiconnect and Cicero Networks announce the availability of CiceroPhone with Quiconnect's Hotspot Connector solution making it seamless for users to make wVoIP calls at public hotspots. CiceroPhone is a converged softphone which delivers Fixed Mobile Convergence on wireless devices, intelligently routing calls over the best available network – Wi-Fi, 3G, WiMAX or cellular. Quiconnect Hotspot Connector automates the connection of Wi-Fi enabled devices at public hotspots, thereby removing the complexity of users gaining wireless Internet access on the move. Quiconnect's Hotspot Connector quickly automates the authentication process of Wi-Fi devices (including smartphones and PDAs) at commercial hotspots. The software includes the various scripts required for a user to log onto a network and includes preloaded credentials. When bundled with CiceroPhone it means that users at public hotspots can automatically make and receive wVoIP calls and send IMs without having to go through a cumbersome logon process. To date, it has been hard to connect Wi-Fi enabled devices to public hotspots as users have had to remember password information, key in credit or scratch card details, or know that their ISP has a roaming agreement with a third party aggregator. As more and more devices have Wi-Fi built in, the challenge of connectivity will increase and automatic logon will be critically important. Hotspot Connector gives device manufacturers, application vendors, software developers and service providers the possibility to embed automated access to hotspots as part of their product or service offering. By making access to hotspots as simple as connecting to home or enterprise WLANs, Quiconnect is facilitating easier Wi-Fi usage for people on the go. Quiconnect has been creating virtual WLAN networks for telcos such as BT, Sprint and Orange France, and has established worldwide interconnection agreements with key network operators such as The Cloud, FatPort, Concourse Communications, Hub T?l?com (formerly ADP T?l?com), PT Wi-Fi (part of Portugal Telecom Group), BeeNet's Y5Zone, Naxos, Meteor and Internet Solutions. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
