D2 Technologies, a major player in embedded IP communications software platforms, will hold private demonstrations of its mCUE converged communications client for mobile devices and handsets on the HTC EVO 4G smartphone on Thursday, June 17 at the WiMAX Forum Global Congress in Amsterdam.

 

Officials with D2 said that mCUE on the HTC (News - Alert) EVO, the first 4G phone to be introduced in the United States, was configured and installed in less than a week - clearly illustrating how OEMs and ODMs can more rapidly develop Android-based devices by choosing to incorporate the converged presence-based communications user interface (CUI).

 

Company officials said that mCUE, with vPort embedded VoIP and video engine, offers OEMs a solution for WiMAX (News - Alert)-compatible Android OS mobile devices that includes premium multi-service unified communications capabilities and interoperability with IMS-based service provider networks.

 

"The first day of U.S. sales for the HTC EVO 4G resulted in the largest quantity of a single phone ever sold by Sprint, and shows the heavy consumer demand for Android-based WiMAX mobile devices," said Doug Makishima, chief operating officer at D2 Technologies (News - Alert), in a statement.

 

Makishima said that by showcasing mCUE on the HTC EVO 4G, the compnay can demonstrate to potential customers how it is faster, easier and more affordable for OEMs and service providers to introduce mobile VoIP over WiMAX and other next generation IP communications devices to market by partnering with D2.

 

According to company officials, D2's mCUE solution, a patented VoIP and IP communications client, provides all of the components necessary for manufacturers to quickly field multi-mode mobile devices for enterprise, carrier and consumer use.

 

This includes dual-mode Wi-Fi - and now WiMAX - enabled smartphones, tablets and MIDs. mCUE provides multi-service and multi-modal communications capabilities such as VoIP, IM chat, presence and video calls over WiMAX, as well as multi-radio, multi-network seamless voice call handover.
