"OnePhone enables mobile users to roam seamlessly between WiFi and cellular networks with one phone, one identity and one phone number," Personna said. The company claims it automatically and transparently switches calls between cellular and WiFi networks in a "fraction of a second." New client-side features include increased security capabilities, and seamless integration with the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), the basis for the company's "Personal Mobility Applications."
OnePhone is delivered on the Persona Mobility Applications Platform, a "mature" and scalable platform that makes it easy for mobile carriers to offer Persona OnePhone and other Personal Mobility Applications to their subscribers, according to the company. The platform integrates with existing cellular networks by supporting standard billing interfaces, open APIs for back-office integration, standard remote monitoring/management, and other capabilities.
OnePhone uses the
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), an open standard signaling protocol that establishes real-time, interactive communication sessions over IP networks and enables advanced multimedia applications. SIP has been
accepted as a standard by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and has been adopted by major telecommunications and networking companies.
"The FMC market is ready to explode. For service providers to attack the FMC opportunity now, they need a carrier-grade FMC solution that meets their requirements for reliability and scalability; offers differentiated mobility features; and is based on the open SIP standard that is the heart of next-generation IMS/3G networks," said Rob Fuggetta, Vice President of Marketing and Chief Marketing Officer for Persona Software. "Persona OnePhone 2.0 meets and exceeds these needs, giving service providers a unique and truly commercial-grade FMC solution they can go to market with now," he added.
