Videoconferencing between 3G FOMA handsets and PCs
January 13, 2003
NTT DoCoMo will begin a trial service that allows FOMA subscribers
to communicate from a personal computer to its FOMA 3G mobile handsets
as early as February, said sources close to the company. The full
service is expected be available by the end of the year at the earliest.
Current FOMA video communication only allow FOMA handsets users
to participate in video telephony via an attached camera with another
FOMA user. The new service expands on the current service by letting
FOMA users partake in videoconferencing with staffs at work on a
PC. PC users will then be able to link up with FOMA users with the
aid of a webcam.
NTT DoCoMo will launch the trial service with much of the users
from its broadband service, the NTT Broadband Initiative. FOMA handset
users will need to register the PC recognition numbers to which
they call, while those PC callers need to log in the mobile phone
numbers.
Following the slow uptake of its FOMA 3G service, DoCoMo will hope
the new service will improve FOMA's image and popularity.
Last week, Ericsson and Hutchison Whampoa signed an agreement for
Ericsson's new Video Gateway System, which allows video telephony
between PCs and 3G mobile videophones of Hutchison 3G. Analysts
believe interest for videoconferencing will mainly come from the
young and enterprises.
