Symbian can soon join VoIP coolness?

Posted by: Ragart on Sep 29 2008

Well this isn’t really news a program per se (per who?), but an engine. Regardless, it’s still something exciting for the Symbian crowd. EMCC Software has developed a VoIP engine for the Symbian platform, which apparently did not have one until now. This hopefully means Symbian phones will be seeing Skype-like programs to take advantage of wi-fi or unlimited data plans to save you some minutes. I’m actually not sure what they mean by “engine”…whether that engine comes with any sort of program, or whether they’re waiting for devs to use the engine in a program?

Maybe you can figure it out in the full press release after the jump.

Manchester, UK – 29th September 2008 – Leading mobile development expert EMCC Software has created a VoIP engine for S60 devices as part of its suite of business mobile integration products.

In creating a new suite of enterprise products that enable easy deployment and use of mobile PBX integration software, EMCC has built up extensive expertise in mobile VoIP.  EMCC has developed a cross-platform VoIP engine capable of being installed on S60, Windows Mobile and other platforms that may lack built-in VoIP capability. The comprehensive VoIP engine can easily be deployed “Over the Air” (OTA) to handsets based on S60 and other Smartphone platforms. It is a fully functional engine that does not rely on any of the in-built handset capabilities.

“Our technical expertise and platform experience has enabled us to overcome a major hurdle that prevented effective deployment of a VoIP solution across the S60 platform which accounts for around 50% of the smartphone market” said Garry Partington, CTO. “We were concerned that the uncertainty caused by the absence of such a solution on certain handsets may be a limiting factor for companies wishing to develop VoIP solutions. EMCC understands the need to remove such uncertainty and are happy to discuss potential options with organizations wishing to pursue such a solution."
