UTStarcom, Inc. today announced the global launch of its newest portable WiFi handset — the F3000. The handset was launched regionally in Europe last week in conjunction with Mobiboo, the United Kingdom's first commercial VoIP WiFi network operator.
"The F3000 builds on the success of our award-winning F1000 handset, our first-generation WiFi phone launched last year and the low-cost market leader in WiFi handsets worldwide," said Hong Lu, president and chief executive officer of UTStarcom, Inc. "Much like the F1000, UTStarcom's F3000 is designed to enable consumers the ability to reap the benefits of VoIP service without being tethered to a fixed-line and at a consumer friendly price point."
With a sleek, clamshell design available in both black and gold, UTStarcom's F3000 WiFi handset bridges the gap between traditional WiFi phones and today's state-of-the-art cellular devices, offering consumers an alluring combination of form and functionality. Measuring 85 x 43 x 22mm and weighing approximately 90g, the F3000 features a full-color, 1.8" LCD screen, polyphonic ringtones, text messaging capability and talk-time of up to three hours and stand-by time of approximately 75 hours.
The phone supports a range of voice protocols, including SIP, SDP, RTP/RTCP and RFC 2833/inband DTMF, and utilizes ITU codecs G.711 and G.729. It operates at WiFi 802.11b/g 2.4GHz and supports WiFi security WEP64/128 and WPA. The F3000 also supports a variety of user interface languages, including English, French, Chinese and Spanish, and standard PSTN features, such as call waiting and three-way calling, are also available. It is easily configured, supporting auto-provisioning and remote software upgrades.
Additionally, UTStarcom's F3000 features an Auto-Search capability, enabling users to locate WiFi networks within range and store these profiles for later use. Moreover, the handset can be programmed with three separate SIP accounts, providing both service provider and access point flexibility for the end user.
