Next-generation switching systems and applications provider Taqua LLC announced that the Taqua MobileWorks solution can now enable voice services over Wi-Fi networks, simultaneously and in conjunction with other IP-based or TDM services through the Taqua 7000 Class 5 Switching System.
The new Taqua MobileWorks solution allows wireline or wireless service providers to extend their existing service offerings to mobile subscribers when utilizing their dual-mode Wi-Fi phone within range of a Wi-Fi network. Independent of their mobile carrier, the mobile subscriber can now download an applet onto their dual-mode phone which will seamlessly connect their calls onto the service provider’s network via IP, terminating across Taqua MobileWorks to their network of choice. Users can make and receive calls directly from their smartphones regardless of their physical location or mobile service provider.
Allowing subscribers to roam between mobile and Wi-Fi networks, the Taqua MobileWorks solution automatically hands off calls between the IP and cellular network when the user is away from a Wi-Fi coverage area. This improves the quality of cell phone conversations that occur inside buildings and homes.
