We are please to present a new update of the IP Cam Xtras addon for our VXI* platforms, one of most interesting feature for 3G/SIP videocalling services is to access to an IP camera. This module allows to code thru VoiceXML a hosted video portal to access to many IP cameras in multi-session user mode. This mean many users can share any camera connected to the service.

Beneficts of 3G videocall:

• No 3G data contrat required (you don’t need any Internet plan)
• No previous software  application/ SMS instalation required
• No specific mobile phone setup and configuration, just make a videocall!
• Video streaming optimized for Mobile Wireless Communication
• Real-time bidirectional  mode always available
• Works with all 3G mobile phones (videocall enabled, most of them are today)
• Works with all 3G UMTS wireless operators
• Works in roadming mode thru another 3G UMTS operator worldwide

Theses developments and updates done by I6NET allow to manage different features according to the camera configuration, camera vendors and releases. Remember each vendor use different codecs, RTSP implementations, different configuration modes:

Legend:

• SIP is a Video over IP protocol (VoIP)
• RTSP Video mp4
• Audio I / O, for camera micro and speaker
• PTZ Pan, Tilt, and Zoom functions thru DTMF
• Pwd Password protection (PIN security)
• NC Not yet commited

Current supported vendors:

• iCantek
• Mobotix
• Vivotek
• D-link

I6NET can provide on demand a specific camera model using RTSP or SIP. Other Xtras addon required for 3G/SIP is the 3G-324m. For more information about compliance with each vendors please contact us.

Last Friday, was a  wonderfull Spring’s day at Brussels to talk with experts about 3G video telephony and security. Over the course of the next few days, participants will receive PDF presentations of all the keynotes from speakers. Interoperability for 3G wireless network was shown in this conference, partners companies will make soon new announcements about it. Stay tuned at www.3gconnectivity.com  and our website / blog.

Thank you to Guy Romanus from iWatel for the organization as well  all our sponsors whose generous support made this event possible:

• iWatel International Wave and Telecommunications
• i6net Solutions and Tecnologies
• Seris Security
• ACIC, Intelligent Vision Systems
• Voxbone, The Inbound Operator

Be ready for 3G-UMTS technology don’t represent is very special innovative situation today for countries. Past days, we was traveling to Mexico and i discover that 3G wireless network coverage is very good there in most small or big cities of the Yucatan’s region. Main local wireless operators as Movistar, Telcel and Telmex; even in the road all wireless antennas were 3G enabled! Videocall is possible it’s not a far dream… Here our driver Victor show us his own Nokia N95 3G mobile phone, ready for videocall… ready for Internet, ready for a lot of things but there is a lack of videocall services like in most other countries, Operators only provide very basic services and promote voice and data… no significant value added video services yet available. 

This is your opportunity here in Mexico and in most of the countries today, IVVR 3G network for videocalling are ready and consumers too, people already have 3G devices… it’s not a question of coverage, mobile phones or more network’s investments…

It’s really a question of lack of services and promotion!

We are pleased to announce that Voxbone is now partnering with iWatel and I6NET at the 3G Connectivity conference. This is great news for all attendees on April 24th, as we will talk about the 3G/IP videocalling interoperability made possible today thanks to Iwatel, i6net, ACIC and Voxbone.

Welcome to Voxbone!
