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.
