Motorola and TeliaSonera Bring First UMA-Enabled Voice Gateway to Market

Motorola announced the commercial launch of its Residential Seamless Mobility Gateway, Motorola RSGu3502, supporting Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) technology. Selected for deployment by Danish mobile operator TeliaSonera, the Motorola RSGu3502 is the first available UMA-enabled gateway for fixed-mobile voice convergence services.

For TeliaSonera's customers in Denmark, the UMA-based service will offer lower-cost calls with better coverage and higher capacity in the home where WLAN access is present. In addition, users will have a seamless mobile experience when moving in and out of the home using a single device, single number, contacts book, voicemail, and bill. This builds upon TeliaSonera and Motorola's joint announcement announcing deployment of Motorola's standards-compliant network infrastructure, system integration, and deployment services.

The Motorola RSG Series gateways support both voice and data communication and provide seamless call transitions between mobile and home Wi-Fi networks. With an RSG and a compatible dual-mode mobile handset, consumers can maintain an uninterrupted connection as they move both within and beyond the home. The RSGu3502 is equipped with two RJ-11 analog phone ports, which enable mobile operators to deliver dial tone to the fixed line in the subscriber's home over the broadband access network. The RSG Series also comes equipped with a full-featured, 4-port router and integrated 802.11b/g Wi-Fi radio, creating a robust and secure home data network. It offers advanced packet routing and prioritization for Voice-over-IP (VoIP) services, ensuring superior Quality of Service (QoS) for both voice and data traffic. Motorola's seamless mobility voice gateways support a variety of rich CLASS features including caller ID, call waiting, three-way calling, and call forwarding.

The Motorola RSGu3502 is currently on display at CTIA Wireless 2007 in Orlando.
