Europe
: Top Global announced today the World’s first 3G Mobile wireless
Skype solution based on the company’s 3G MobileBridge™
platform. Top Global has developed and patented the flexible MobileBridge™
platform which serves as a gateway/router that links Third Generation
Cellular (3G) network and WLAN/LAN networks, enabling customer to
enjoy the flexibility and convenience of wireless internet in truly
mobile and remote environments.
Unlike
other Skype devices that must connect with a PC, Top Global’s
3G mobile wireless Skype MobileBridge™ will work anywhere within
cellular coverage. It does not limited to a home, office, cafe, or
open public WiFi hotspot either. The Skype experience remains the
same. Users can now make free domestic and international calls, chat
with other Skype users anywhere around the world, and call to non-Skype
users and regular phone numbers for a small fee with the SkypeOut
feature. With the Top Global solution, headphones or USB phones plugged
into a laptop or PC are not required.
The combination of internet
telephony with 3G wireless technologies will revolutionize the Telecom
Industry. Back in year 2004, Top Global first demonstrated SIP based
international VoIP call over the 3G MobileBridge™ during the
3GSM Congress in Hong Kong. The ability to make Skype call for free
without the need of a PC is a big step forward to make Skype available
anywhere around the world with ubiquitous cellular coverage.
“With Top Global
MobileBridge™, Skype users can now chat for free with anyone
in the world on Skype while riding a car, bus, or train”, said
Dr. Alan Zhou, President & CTO of Top Global, “Through our
continuous innovation, customers can enjoy all the benefits of Skype
anywhere at anytime without carrying a computer”.
