    VoIP Calls via Mobile Phone SMS

    August 14th, 2006

    Click4Me, a Web-Click Phone-to-Phone service that utilizes VoIP technology for free phone-to-phone calling. Click4Me is available for testing on VoiceOne’s Virtual Lab at http://Labs.VoiceOne.com - an open forum for users to preview, test free of charge, and provide feedback on new IP communications services developed by VoiceOne.

    Click4Me integrates the world wide web, VoIP calling, and mediation to existing landline functionality all within one product. Users are not required to use special Instant Messaging, Voice over IP phone service, using your PC as the phone, or anything special to make and receive phone calls thru the service.

    With latest addition, anyone can connect to a registered Click4Me member by simply texting “CALL + the member’s username” to the Click4Me SMS address. Within seconds, the caller will be automatically connected to the Click4Me member of their choice, free of charge.

    To enable cellular phone users easier access to calling, users with cellular phones wanting to connect to a Click4Me user, can navigate to http://www.click2me.us, which will provide them the ability to enter the users email address or Click4Me id, and with one click connect to that user at no charge.

    Features for registered members of the service now include: SMS Text messaging to users, an online Inbox allowing people to leave messages for one another on the Click4Me.Net website, email and SMS text notifications of missed calls or new messages.

    Also registered members receive FREE 411 (Directory Assistance) from any cell phone by simply texting “CALL 411″ or just “411″ to the Click4Me SMS address. Members will be automatically connected to Directory Assistance at no charge, compared to the customary $1.50 to $3 plus charged to cell phones for 411 calls. What’s more, the information provided by Directory Assistance can be sent to the caller via SMS Text and saved for later reference.

    Linksys 802.11n Wi-Fi Products for Small Business

    August 2nd, 2006

    Linksys announced a line-up of Wireless-N products in its Small Business Series: Wireless-N Access Point (WAP4400N), Wireless-N Gigabit Security Router with VPN (WRVS4400N) and Wireless-N CardBus Adapter (WPC4400N). These are the first Wireless-N products, based on the 802.11n draft specification which are designed and developed specifically for the small business environment.

    The new small business products offer features that are not found in the currently shipping wireless-N products for home users:

    * 4 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ports (Router) or 1 10/100/1000 Gigabit Port (AP)
    * Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) (Router only)
    * 802.1x client authentication
    * Power Over Ethernet (PoE) (AP Only)
    * Roaming (AP only)
    * Wireless Multimedia Support (WMM)
    * IPSec VPN Support (Router only)
    * WPA-PSK/ENT and WPA2-PSK2/ENT Security Supported
    * Linksys developed - Wireless Security Monitor (AP and PC Card only)

    Designed to offer improved range and throughput, above wireless-G products, and robust security features, the WAP4400N, WRVS4400N and WPC300N deliver the capacity for small businesses to wirelessly share data, use applications, access the Internet, or make Internet phone calls - all at the same time at speeds greater than 10/100 Ethernet and with confidence that their network is highly secure. With whole-office coverage that virtually eliminates dead spots, Wireless-N enables business users the freedom to work, collaborate, and be productive everywhere, without the hassle of being tethered via wires.

    Designed for better handling of bandwidth-hungry applications such as VoIP and video, these new devices feature longer range and higher bandwidth than those based on older standards. This could enable businesses to more easily cover their entire offices with wireless broadband reception, allowing employees to work away from their desks without encountering dead spots.

    The access point and laptop adapter products are now available to U.S. small businesses at prices of $169 and $129, respectively. The VPN router, meanwhile is expected to hit the market in September, at a cost of $229.
