VL Inc. has released version 2.0 of the company's VoIP technology for handheld devices. Developed for use with the Pocket PC and Windows CE operating systems,
PocketGphone 2.0 features SIP compliance as well as a low latency of just 50 ms.
The recent emergence of the 802.11/Wi-Fi standard has enabled cost effective deployment of unregulated wireless broadband networks. Consumers and enterprises are utilizing these new networks with Windows Powered Pocket PC and Windows CE-based devices to work and communicate in entirely new ways.
According to the company, PocketGphone enables real-time, two way voice calling/chat as a complement to mobile data applications such as warehouse/inventory management. For consumers using Windows-powered Pocket PC and Windows CE-based devices in conjunction with 802.11 Hot Spots, the technology has been designed to enable real-time, two-way voice calling as well as on-line gaming applications.
Requiring a minimum bandwidth of 32 Kbit/sec bandwidth, the NAT/peer-to-peer compatible VoIP technology can either be deployed in a voice-only mode, or as an
integrated add-on to existing mobile data applications. In addition, PocketGphone 2.0 can be deployed as a stand-alone client-to-client offering (
i.e. open network p2p file sharing. - jack.), or with the company's Gphone Lobby Server, which adds user, address book and IP management capabilities.
"The
small footprint, low latency, low bandwidth requirements, peer to peer architecture along with SIP and NAT compliance of PocketGphone 2.0 gives OEMs, VARs and Integrators a tremendous opportunity to add voice as a differentiator to their Windows Powered Pocket PC and Windows CE-based solutions using 802.11 wireless networks," said president and CEO Bingwei Yao in a statement.
