The collaboration will unite 2G/3G and WLAN (Wireless LAN) in an integrated dual-mode telephony solution on Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia N80 Internet Edition.
SingTel’s so-called VoIP on mobile service combines the mobility of cellular and the cost-effectiveness of wireless broadband. Selected SingTel Mobile subscribers will now be invited for a service trial which will allow them to use voice and data services from home and on the move through SingNet Wireless Surf Zones. The commercial launch of the service is expected to be later this year, reveals the joint press release issued by the two cell phone companies.
“Nokia is pleased to co-operate with SingTel on this industry leading initiative on our range of multiradio mobile devices,” states Chris Carr, General Manager, Customer Market and Operations, Nokia Singapore.
“Consumers can now experience the power of mobility and benefit from accessing Internet services and calls without being connected to a computer.”
