Enterprise-class voice over Wi-Fi carrier DeFi Mobile from Quiconnect

Quiconnect has announced that it has been selected by DeFi Mobile to establish pervasive wireless broadband interconnection agreements with international telecoms and network operators so that users of DeFi’s voice over Wi-Fi service, DeFi Global Access, can roam seamlessly and get connected at public hotspot infrastructure as they travel worldwide.



The DeFi Mobile has invested in creating a carrier grade IP platform able to scale to 20 million users to deliver next generation feature-rich voice, mobile applications and services. The DeFi is offering a solution whereby consumers pay a flat fee of £25 per month to make and receive unlimited long distance calls, have unrestricted data and browser access, all using one mobile device on one robust network. Supporting the S60 platform [1], DeFi runs on smartphones which have both cellular and Wi-Fi capability, typically Nokia’s E and N series handsets [2]. DeFi’s ‘over the air’ provisioning solution programs the network and provisions handsets in real time without any user involvement. Following a simple login process on DeFi’s web site, consumers download the application onto their phones, select local numbers for the countries they want and are ready to go, with the DeFi solution automatically connecting users to available access points whether they be at home, work or in public places. This approach means that technology savvy customers who have tried to avoid paying costly roaming charges by having multiple SIM cards and handsets no longer need to do this, nor do people calling them incur high call costs either. Quiconnect was chosen as the Wireless Broadband Alliance-approved WRIX[3] partner - one of only three independent companies to have achieved this accreditation – which means it is authorised to provide WLAN systems integration services among the WBA membership, comprising 28 of the world’s leading telcos, as well as non-WBA companies.
