Embedded IP communications software platform provider D2 Technologies is putting its converged communications client for WiMAX mobile devices on display this week at CTIA (News - Alert) Wireless in Las Vegas.

 

The Santa Barbara, California-based company is offering private demonstrations of its mCUE converged communications client designed for mobile devices and handsets on the HTC G1.

 

The mCUE is the first commercial smartphone operating on the Android mobile operating system from Google and its design is expected to provide manufacturers with a powerful turnkey software solution for developing and delivering WiMAX handsets and similar portable devices to market.

 

"Android is showing significant market traction, and through D2, manufacturers have the ability to quickly and easily equip such emerging devices with rich multi-modal communications," said Doug Makishima, vice president of marketing and sales at D2 Technologies.

 

CITIA Wireless is being held in Las Vegas, Nevada from April 1 through April 3.

 

The previews are expected to illustrate how OEMs can rapidly develop Android-based devices that include premium multi-service unified communications capabilities and that deliver interoperability with enterprise communications systems and IMS-based service provider networks, according to Makishima.

 

"Our approach unifies the underlying heterogeneous services into a cohesive communication layer, simplifying development to not only speed products to market, but also lower costs," said Makishima.

 

The combination of D2's mCUE converged presence-based communications user interface (CUI) and its vPort MP IP communications middleware layer is unique in allowing manufacturers to quickly develop and deliver new mobile devices that integrate all session types including cellular voice call, VoIP, video call, IM, SMS and email messaging.

 

Through D2’s mCUE converged presence-based communications user interface (CUI), new mobile devices that integrate all session types including cellular voice call, VoIP, IM, SMS and e-mail messaging can more quickly be introduced to market. This latest software implementation is running on a dual-mode mobile platform running Linux on a Texas Instruments (News - Alert) OMAP-based processor, according to the company.

 

Mobile devices with mCUE provide users with advanced presence-based and push-to-x control of cellular and VoIP calls, PBX (News - Alert) feature activation, IM, e-mail, SMS and other features typically only available on PC-based unified communications soft clients, according to the company.

Developed by the Open Handset Alliance (News - Alert), the Android platform is a Linux-based software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware and key applications.

 

CTIA Wireless attendees interested in arranging a private demonstration of mCUE and vPort MP on the HTC G1 should contact D2 directly at marketing@d2tech.com.

 

As TMCnet reported, D2 recently held private demonstrations for the mCUE at ITEXPO (News - Alert) East 2009 in Miami, Florida.
