Nokia Sued Over VoIP Phone Patent
TMCnet VoIP Minute Watch Columnist
German telecom Teles AG announced it filed a lawsuit against electronics manufacturing giant Nokia for alleged patent infringement. In the suit, Teles claims that Nokia's new '6136' handset and its GSM fallback function infringe Teles' German and European VoIP patents. Teles launched a patent violation case with the Mannheim regional court yesterday.
Nokia has been touting the new device at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona this week. The phone uses Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) technology, which uses GSM/GPRS voice and data services over a broadband connection. It also has an integrated 1.3 megapixel camera with 8x smooth zoom and FM radio with Visual Radio, video streaming and recording and an XHTML browser.
The device has a quad-band GSM coverage on up to five continents (EDGE/GSM 850/900/1800/1900) and
WLAN 802.11 b/g 2.4 Ghz for UMA, with automatic switching between WLAN and cellular networks.
Nokia plans to make the 6136 available in the second quarter of 2006.
