i2Telecom International, Inc. ("i2Telecom®") (OTCBB: ITUI), a developer of award-winning patented and innovative high-quality Voice-over-Internet Protocol ("VoIP") products and services, today announced that Xiocom Wireless, Inc., a leading global wireless broadband technology and operations company, has signed an agreement to utilize i2Telecom’s Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) products to supplement and expand its current service offerings to carriers and network operators worldwide.
MyGlobalTalk™, i2Telecom’s internally developed patent-pending technology, is a new and advanced mobile VoIP application that targets the wireless handset market. MyGlobalTalk™ places Internet telephony in the hands of every cellular phone user, independent of wireless carrier technology, handset manufacturer, or the type of wireless carrier voice/data plan involved. The objective is to enable mobile users to access low-cost Internet telephony communications in a completely “untethered” manner via their MyGlobalTalk™-enabled cellular phones. Once MyGlobalTalk™ software is installed on cellular handsets, users are able to call any telephone in the world directly from their cellular phones, using VoIP technology, at a fraction of normal long-distance rates. In addition, MyGlobalTalk™ is fully functional without local access to the Internet or proximity to an Internet “hotspot”. Users also need not wait for the availability of dual-mode WiFi phones, because MyGlobalTalk™ provides the benefits of dual-mode phones at a fraction of the cost using customers’ existing mobile handsets.
“We are pleased to have been selected by Xiocom as a key Mobile VoIP partner in these rapidly developing regions of the world,” stated Paul Arena, Chief Executive Officer of i2 Telecom International, Inc. “We believe that our ongoing success in the international marketplace reflects not only the fundamental economic benefits of Mobile VoIP, but also the added value of our intellectual property in the unified communications space. Working with such leading telecommunications providers as Xiocom in South America, Central Asia and Africa, we are providing significant cost savings and improving communications capabilities among the customers and employees of organizations around the world.”
“We selected i2Telecom because of the ease of use and advanced features of MyGlobalTalk™, the company’s ability to provide the type of service required in remote areas of the countries we serve, and its excellent reputation for delivering quality low-cost portable communications,” stated Jeff Spence, Chief Executive Officer of Xiocom. “i2Telecom’s products are very easy to deploy and an ideal complement to the services Xiocom currently provides to partners and operators in the emerging markets.”
Businesses and consumers can substantially reduce long-distance and international telecommunication costs by utilizing i2 Telecom’s easy-to-deploy VoIP solutions that seamlessly interface with existing telephone systems.
MyGlobalTalk™, when combined with the i2Telecom services network, allows users to access, through their mobile handheld devices, the cost benefits and features that the Internet delivers to the computer. The current Mobile VoIP Beta Version 2.0 provides low-cost access to both international and domestic telephone networks. Future releases will include speed dial and access to enterprise VoIP-enabled communication products currently available from such companies as Microsoft, Nortel, Avaya, Cisco, Vertical, and Mitel.
MyGlobalTalk™ is being released in phases, having commenced in the first quarter of 2008 to customers in the United States and the United Kingdom with SmartPhone handsets that utilize the Windows Mobile® 5.0/6.0 operating system. Accompanying the release of the MyGlobalTalk™ mobile application is a MyGlobalTalk™ branded web site. Subsequent releases will be available worldwide and will include support for Blackberry, iPhone and Symbian enabled handsets, while adding new features specifically designed with the mobile handset user in mind.
