***InnoMedia Announces MTA 5000 Videophones
(March 29)
The InnoMedia MTA 5000 videophones enable video telephony
services, including wireless LAN and 3G compatibility. The phones
are models MTA 5531 and MTA 5410. The MTA 5531 supports wireless
LAN, PSTN connectivity, a 5-inch LCD and an optional video
answering machine. The MTA 5410 is a basic video phone. Both
models have a NAT router for PC internet access while the video
telephony session is on. The phones also support the SIP protocol
and H.323 and MGCP versions will be available in the later part
of this year.
The PCMCIA Wireless LAN means that the phone can be deployed
using existing WLANs. These phones are also compatible with 3G
mobile systems which means that calls can be made to 3G video-
enabled cellular telephones.
InnoMedia videophones are currently in use throughout Hong Kong
through a video telephony service called VFone, offered by CK
Communications and Hutchison Global Communications. VFone service
subscribers are making video calls to Hutchison 3's mobile 3G
users.
The MTA 5000 series of videophones will be available worldwide
starting next month.
