Truphone allows you to carry only one phone for both fixed and mobile use - seamlessly roaming between Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G - connecting via SIP to the public phone system. The beta of Truphone is now available for Series 60 smartphones from the company by request to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it The Series 60 smartphone architecture provides users with all the basic and advanced cellular phone functions in a compact device characterized by a large color screen, rich communications and enhanced applications.

Truphone allows you to make a phone call via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or 3G using VoIP technology on mass market phones. This allows you to mix the benefits of carrying a single mobile device with all your contacts while gaining the cost benefits of IP telephony. When you move away from the Wi-Fi access point Truphone will transfer the call to the cellular network. For enterprises this provides the ideal converged device so that employees need only use one phone for all their communication needs. SCN’s wireless hotspot technology allows you to use the service when out and about in cafes and coffee bars. The use of standard Wi-Fi access points in the home or office enables coverage into mobile blind spots or can simply be used to make lower cost VoIP calls.

’The market for VoIP is taking off with over 125 companies heading to VON in Stockholm next week (23rd May 2005). The Series 60 platform provides the ideal converged phone to give customers a rich mobile experience and the Series 60 program has been instumental in allowing us to deeply integrate with the phone’, says Andy McEwan, Director of Engineering. ’Several companies have proven customer adoption on PC’s with low cost and even free services so we see the next step is to take the VoIP business model to the mobile space where revenue opportunities are greater.’

Nokia created the Series 60 Platform and licenses it to leading cell phone vendors LG Electronics, Lenovo, Panasonic, Samsung, Sendo and Siemens, who together with Nokia make up nearly two-thirds of global cell phone sales. Series 60 devices feature large, high-resolution screens with up to 65,000 colors, at least 4MB of memory, and support thousands of software titles.

Truphone integrates with the phonebook in your series 60 phone and automatically detects access points that are available for making calls. These calls are routed over the Internet with an end-to-end SIP architecture and terminated to another SIP compliant device or via a Media Gateway to the public phone system. Incomming calls are supported by SIP services that support an incoming number range and automatically route incoming calls via mobile or wireless LAN depending on availability of coverage. The first product to ship supports the Nokia 6630 phone operating over Bluetooth. This will operate with a Bluetooth enabled computer or an inexpensive Bluetooth Truphone adapter turning that computer into a low cost access point. Wi-Fi enabled phones will follow shortly allowing the use of Truphone in public hotspots and enterprises where Bluetooth is less commonly available.

The application is in test with service providers, operators and MVNOs. For more information visit www.scn.com , or come to stand 841 at VON Europe, Stockholm, Sweden - details at www.pulver.com.
