Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Linksys has launched, in the US, its first two telephone handsets designed for VoIP over WiFi, claiming they will enable users to make low-cost VoIP calls through 802.11g wireless networks.
Once connected to the Internet via a WiFi hotspot, users will be able to select the appropriate phone and VoIP service provider for their specific needs, Linksys says.
The top end model, the WIP330 (retail price $US369.99) has an "intuitive user interface [that] allows users to quickly and easily configure the handset to access available wireless-G networks...including public hotspots which require user name or password access." Its built-in web browser can be used to access web-based email, view web sites or receive Internet-based video.
It supports SIP v2 standards, IEEE 802.11b/g, has a 2.2-inch colour LCD display, support for QoS, supports 3-way conferencing, call hold and resume, and caller ID, and auto-provisioning using HTTP or HTTPS for configuration and upgrades.
The cheaper model, the WIP300 ($US219.99) has only a 1.8 inch LCD, no QoS support, no facility for auto provisioning and no support for conferencing.
Linksys says more WiFi phone products will be launched in the second half of 2006.
