TerraSip mobile VoIP Community starts first ever pilot project for VoWLAN in Germany

TerraSip - the Voice over IP Community - plans launch of mobile Internet-Telephony in German speaking countries with two WiFi network providers as partners. Estepona, 3/14/06 - The international VoIP Provider TerraSip has launched a pilot project to test Voice over IP together with two WiFi network providers, M3-Concept GmbH in Aachen and the Tirolean firm goingsoft GmbH.

Extremely good value mobile telephony via internet: "TerraSip has chosen Germany and Austria for this pilot project because both countries can provide a high network density and therefore optimum availability. Of course we are delighted to have found two partners who already have a proven track record through the services which they supply to first class hotels and their upmarket guests." reports Daniel David, Project Manager at TerraSip.

The object of the test is to prove the interoperability of the billing systems as well as various mobile IP cellular telephones and APs (Access Points) implemented by different manufacturers. TerraSip is especially interested in testing its billing system for WiFis (here more than 2000) with the cooperation of both partners to ensure in-the-field reliability and accuracy.

Value added hotspots: Stefan Seiwald, Managing Director of goingsoft GmbH, is optimistic: "When the project has been successfully completed, our access points in over 600 Austrian hotels will be significantly more attractive." Alexander Balsam, CTO of M3-Connect GmbH and responsible for 1500 APs in Germany, is also keen to seize the opportunity: "Mobile Internet Telephony is the market of the future for us. Not only our hotel installations, but also the international trade fairs which we equip with our WLANs represent an enormous growth potential."

After the successful conclusion of the pilot project, TerraSip plans a rapid expansion in Germany and Austria. By the end of 2006 there will be over 100,000 WiFis available to TerraSip customers (members?) in the European German language region. This mobile VoIP service will represent very much better value than GSM. Information to the provider: TerraSip is a recent, globally aligned and world-wide operating enterprise. It offers free internet telephony per international SIP standard for TerraSip members. The membership is free. TerraSip's adjustment aims at mobile internet telephony, the voice over WLAN, briefly VoWLAN.

Equipment You Need For Voip

There is a gradation between the means of communication via VoIP.

First come simple VoIP software (so called soft phones) that is installed on your computer, assuming that computer has a broadband internet connection. The most famous are Skype, Net2Phone, Free World Dialup, Gizmo etc. In order to chat using this applications you should install appropriate software. As you know most of VoIP software is absolutely free. Of course you need to have sound card in your computer and speakers (headset) with the microphone attached.

The calls all over the world are free of charge as long as you are making a call from one computer to another. For a small fee (smaller then simple phone to cellular or landline call) you can still talk using your software. Soft phones support such features as call forwarding, voicemail, conference calls and even video data transmission.

After software means of VoIP Internet phones come. They do not require headsets or speakers. They look and act like common push-button phones. Such devices work when connected directly to the sound card or USB port. Though they are external they still are treated as soft phones due to the necessity of software installation for signal transmission.

The next device on the VoIP scale of ranks is an Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA). This adapter is an analog telephone and broadband device go-between. The service of connection and terms of payment while using ATA is similar to simple contract with the phone company. You pay fixed monthly charge to your VoIP service provider. And of course such service can last as long as you need and can be stopped at your command. The advantage of such a telephone adapter is that you do not need computer at all. You just simply connect any analog telephone adapter to the DSL or cable modem via ATA and enjoy the conversation.

When you are at home you can call or pick up the phone and no one will ever know that you are using VoIP instead of landline. If you are going somewhere away from the house you can take ATA with you. Just connect it to modem to receive phone calls that will be routed exactly to the device without the rising in cost.

At last but not list in the scales of rank stand IP phones. There are a lot of differences between IP and Internet phones. For example Internet phones need to have software installed on your PC, but IP phones already have built-in software. Internet phones are connected to the computer that is connected to the modem. But IP phones are plugged directly to the modem just like ATA. And just like ATA you cal call and receive calls from every place you find broadband modem. Along all the advantages of IP phones they are much more compact and have a lot of useful functions like additional memory to store phone calls.

What Do I Need For VoIP?

You can try out VoIP for free! All you need is a headset attached to the sound card of your computer. Next, download one of the many VoIP software packages. Skype, Gizmo, Free World Dialup, and Net2Phone are some of the big names. With the software installed, invite all your friends to download the same software and when someone is up and running, give them a call!

Most of these "soft phones" (as they are called) allow you to make and receive calls at no charge anywhere in the world as long as you are not connecting to a cellular or landline phone. They are easy to use ? simply click on a contact name to initiate a call. Features such as call display, call forwarding, voicemail, and conference calls are included at no extra charge as long as both parties are using computers.

A step up from headsets is Internet phones. These feel a lot more like "real" telephones -- they ring, they have regular number pads, and you use them like traditional telephones. They plug into the USB port or sound card of your computer. These phones are still considered soft phones because you need VoIP software installed on your computer to make and receive telephone calls.

As we progress up the VoIP ladder the next is an ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter) which allows you to connect a traditional analog telephone to a broadband modem. ATA's are usually provided free of charge when you sign up with a VoIP service provider. This is similar to signing up with a regular phone company -- there is a monthly charge and you may have to sign a contract tying you into the service for a certain period of time.

The ATA is simple to use. It connects to a broadband modem - either a DSL modem connected to your traditional phone line or a cable modem which attaches to your cable TV connection. Any traditional analog telephone can be plugged into an ATA. You do not even need a computer in the house to use this type of VoIP connection.

Using an ATA for Internet phone calls is transparent. You simply pick up the phone and dial a number just as you would with your regular phone service. Anybody calling your phone number will not be aware that you are using VoIP instead of PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network).

If you are travelling, you can take your ATA with you and receive phone calls anywhere in the world by connecting it to a broadband modem. Any calls to your phone number will be routed to your ATA (which has an identification number making it unique in the world) at the same cost as the call to your residence or business would cost.

The third option for VoIP is to have an IP phone. Don't confuse IP phones and Internet Phones. IP phones plug directly into the modem, but Internet phones plug into the sound card or USB port of your computer. An IP phone is a handset which has all the necessary hardware and software installed in it. You connect an IP phone to a broadband modem and make or receive calls the same way that you would make or receive calls with an ATA. The advantage of an IP phone over an ATA is that you do not need an extra telephone set to plug into the ATA -- it is a completely integrated unit.

IP phones also have the advantage of having all your phone numbers stored in the phone as well as a display screen which gives you information about incoming calls.
