NTT DoCoMo Unveils New 3G FOMA Videophones and PC Card Type Terminal
June 16, 2003
NTT DoCoMo unveiled the specifications of its third-generation (3G) FOMA
F2102V and N2102V clamshell-type videophone handsets and F2402, the FOMA
lineup's first PC card-type terminal equipped for PC-based videophone,
to spur demand for the fledgeling service.
The F2102V (Fujitsu) and N2102V (NEC) enable client authentication for
enhanced network security when making mobile payments and other e-commerce
transactions over the FOMA network. In addition to Adaptive MultiRate
speech coding, the two handsets are equipped for Advanced Audio Coding
(AAC) audio compression to offer CD-quality sound with DoCoMo's i-motion
video clip distribution service.
Both of the handsets will run for 200 to 240 hours between charges and
are equipped with built-in digital cameras and allow video calling.
They are expected to retail at around the same level as the latest 3G
phones (US$260), a DoCoMo official said.
