TAIPEI, TAIWAN--- HelloSoft announced the debut of the TriPhone™ 4G reference handset at WiMAX Taipei, on June 1-5. The TriPhone is a tri-mode mobile WiMAX/GSM-EDGE/WLAN reference feature phone jointly developed by HelloSoft and Comsys Mobile, to provide OEM/ODMs with a quick & easy path to an affordable, feature-rich Android based handset enabling mobile WiMAX operators to achieve mass-market uptake.
A unique comprehensive pre-integrated hardware/software reference platform, the TriPhone incorporates both companies' award-winning solutions:
*
HelloSoft's optimized VoIP stack and Convergence Client suite running on its highly integrated ultra low-power HS100 IP convergence processor,
and
*
ComMAX® CM1125 -- the industry's only multimode mobile WiMAX/GSM-EDGE communication processor -- optimized for low power, small footprint and full mobility.
This combination of field-proven solutions enables a cost-efficient, low-power, full-mobility Android-based feature phone with ubiquitous connectivity, seamless handover between IP based and circuit switched networks, a rich set of features and an enhanced user experience.
To reduce development costs and time to market, the TriPhone is delivered with complete schematics, a detailed documentation package including system, software & hardware design guides, a pre-integrated Android-based feature phone application platform, and a comprehensive production support toolset.
"There is a strong demand for low-cost WiMAX feature phones to address the increasing adoption of WiMAX globally. In particular, the market has a need for affordable tri-mode phones supporting mobile WiMAX, GSM-EDGE and WLAN, to meet the demand in both emerging markets and mature markets," said Ronny Gorlicki, Comsys Mobile's Executive VP Sales. "The TriPhone enables OEM/ODMs to capitalize on this need by providing a turnkey solution for mass-production of such phones, built around the unique solutions developed by Comsys Mobile and HelloSoft."
Allan Johnson, Senior Vice President, Marketing & Business Development at HelloSoft, says, "The 4G TriPhone™ offers by far the richest feature set available anywhere for a 4G phone at a feature phone price point. It comes fully loaded with HelloSoft's award winning VoIP and state-of-the-art convergence software suite for Android that delivers a seamless user experience across any IP network -- be it 4G high speed data-on-the-go with integrated VoIP, or be it standard ubiquitous cellular. This phone solves the dilemma 4G carriers have with needing a phone in their portfolio that does everything a user's current phone does at a similar price point (including the very important category of low cost phones), at the same time providing 4G high speed data-on-the-go where it is available as carriers expand their 4G footprint. The price-point of 4G phones to date has been a barrier to rapid volume shipments and we have seen a large pent-up demand from 4G service providers and ODMs/OEMs for this category of affordable 4G phone with many exciting features."
All are invited to view the TriPhone platform at booth #A515 at Computex in Taipei, Taiwan.
