NTT DoCoMo Announces Data-Card Terminal
NTT DoCoMo, Inc. announced that the
company will begin marketing the F2402, a data-card type terminal capable
of high-speed packet transmission in both the uplink and downlink at a
maximum rate of 384 kbps.
A unique feature of the F2402 is that it makes possible video calling
from a PC to a FOMA videophone, or to an ISDN-connected fixed videophone
terminal. To enable this function, the PC user must preinstall videophone
software, be using a web camera enabled PC, and be wearing an
earphone-mike headset. For simple voice calling from a PC, the accessory
earphone-mike headset optionally available from DoCoMo will suffice.
Furthermore, specific locations can be remotely monitored by placing a web
camera enabled PC, with the F2402 inserted, at an appropriate vantage
point for image transmission to a FOMA videophone.
The F2402 supports multi-accessing, letting users simultaneously transmit
both voice and data. Some marketing conditions including sales channels
and start date of selling, may vary depending on the NTT DoCoMo regional
subsidiary.
For corporate customers, handsets will be sold directly through NTT
DoCoMo subsidiaries, DoCoMo's business divisions and DoCoMo Shops.
