Nokia has claimed a "significant milestone" in its fixed-mobile convergence strategy with the completion of both voice and data calls using unlicensed mobile access (UMA) technology in a Nokia Solutions Experience Centre in the USA.
 
  UMA, a 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Program) standard, is an access technology that allows seamless handover of mobile voice and data from a cellular network to a wireless local area network (WLAN/WiFi).

Nokia says that it successful transferred voice calls from a live cellular network to WLAN and from WLAN to cellular, and a data call from cellular to WLAN. Both voice and data calls were completed using a Nokia test phone.
