SIPquest Introduces Mobile Console Client software for Phones and PDAs

Allows service providers to offer a single number for WiFi and cellular calls

Ottawa, Canada - September 20, 2005 - SIPquest, the leader in Converged Multimedia Client software announced the availability of the SIPquest Mobile Console Client software. This Windows Mobile software application allows a user to place and receive a call using the same number, on the same handset, over the best available network - WiFi or cellular. This innovation allows wireline, wireless and cable operators to access previously unreachable markets and increase revenues.

A high priority for many service providers is to deepen their effective service area using the Internet and Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC) deployments. "Recent research shows that dual network WiFi - cellular services have the potential to be the killer application the VoIP market is looking for," says Keith Nissen, senior analyst with In-Stat. "Service Providers with a strategy for delivering these services could dominate quickly."

"Convergence is 'the game' for the telecom industry. Bringing wireless and wireline networks together. Bringing voice and data applications together. Bringing enterprises and service provider domains together. SIPquest sits at these market intersections with the critical competencies and technologies," David Hattey, President and CEO of SIPquest. "We bring a seamless and intuitive user experience as well as network-side operations and control features for ease of deployment."

"Timico was the first service provider in Europe to demonstrate a wireless VoIP Client integrated with a GSM phone," said Trefor Davies, Technology Director of Timico. "As a key player in the market for converged services we know the value of powerful client software, which is why we're working with SIPquest."

Available immediately for service provider licensing or equipment manufacturer resale, the SIPquest Mobile Console supports a variety of mobile devices. It is also optimized to work with third-party Mobility Engines running on network application servers.
