It is VoIP software for Pocket PCs based Wireless PDA, which combines portability of PDAs and efficiency of IP Telephony services. WiFive™ Phone was already selected as VoIP softphone for PDA-Nexio II of Samsung last year and officially supplied to “Nespot Phone Service” of the Korea Telecom’s wireless LAN based Internet phone service. Moreover, last December, WiFive Phone was selected as SIP-based VoIP pilot service solution for the Ipv6 based next generation network implementation project of KNCA (Korea National Computerization Agency) and was supplied with SIP servers as well. Recently, Polypix made commercial supply agreement with a large ITSP in the US and has been carrying out the interoperability test at present. While most users regard PDA as a tool of simple schedule & personal information management, but WiFive Phone users have shown the unique tendency to purchase PDA for using phone services and a variety of additional communication services. In particular, in accordance with increasing interests on Wi-Fi service as new service items for service providers in the US and Europe where wireless LAN-based Internet service has been actively deployed, Polypix has been continuously receiving commercial inquiries on actual service provisioning.
