| At CeBIT 2004, Siemens mobile introduced a consumer Internet telephony and messaging solution developed in partnership with Skype Technologies, the peer-to-peer VoIP provider. The new telephony product will allow consumers to utilize and manage all of their traditional Internet applications such as instant messaging, chat, buddy lists, Internet radio and emails, conveniently from their Gigaset handset. The Gigaset M34 USB PC Adapter offers an open interface to enable third party solution providers to integrate cordless phones into their applications for VoIP, messaging and home control. Siemens is providing a free Software Development Kit (SDK).  The Gigaset-Skype Internet telephony package will be available in September 2004 across Europe. The Gigaset-Skype Internet telephony solution is the first product from the Siemens Cordless Product VoIP Integration Roadmap that will soon include Gigaset Residential Voice and Data Gateways, and Gigaset WiFi devices. http://www.siemens.com 17-Mar-04 |
