WiFiMobile provide
wholesale provisioning for VoIP Service Providers
Los Angeles, California July 13th 2007
Leading mobile VoIP supplier WiFiMobile today announced an enhancement to
it’s back-end provisioning service aimed at VoIP Service Providers. Through
the use of a web service the Service Provider is able to provision user’s
Nokia phones onto their network via WiFiMobile’s SMS gateway anywhere in the
world. This dramatically simplifies the complex steps to provision and
activate VoIP services.
VOIP provisioning presents a market opportunity not only for traditional
telcos, but also for new players, such as ISPs. The company’s product
offering gives Service Providers enhanced capabilities to automate
provisioning and integrate with their existing OSS applications to rapidly
introduce, deliver and manage VoIP services. Service Providers can host
their own web site and make calls to the WiFiMobile provisioning server via
a web service or alternatively WiFiMobile can host the web site.
Companies are given the option of provisioning the Nokia VoIP client or
WiFiMobile’s proprietary oneFone client. Using the Nokia client an SMS sent
to the phone is opened and simply saved ( client provisioning ). This
automatically configures the SIP settings for the device. The oneFone client
is downloaded over GPRS or a Wi-Fi access point and can add VOIP
functionality to all Nseries and Eseries phones. An alternative method
supported is OMA DM ( Device Management ). This permits any setting in the
phone to be changed by the operator OTA.
Part of the solution is a Presence server. This allows the end user to
scroll through their contact list and view who is online at any time.
Enterprises also have the option of using Nokia smart-phones as extensions
to their SIP compliant corporate IP PBX system. The Nokia device then acts
as both a standard GSM handset and as an extension to the company
switchboard.
WiFiMobile’s CEO Gerry O’Prey says “Service Providers can now enter the
mobile VoIP market extremely quickly and painlessly by making use of our
unique turn-key solution”
