HelloSoft, a manufacturer of VoIP technologies, recently presented its new technology for WiMAX system-on-chip designs.

“HelloSoft is paving the way for mass deployment of VoIP over WiMAX by providing the most optimized VoIP solutions for WiMAX SoCs,” said Mr. Krishna Yarlagadda, Founder, President & CEO of HelloSoft. “The launching of our VoIP for WiMAX SoCs program enables WiMAX semiconductor manufacturers to add VoIP to their WiMAX designs for a complete VoWiMAX product running on a single-chip solution. We are excited for HelloSoft to be able to present this technology and deliver this low-cost solution to the marketplace.”

WiMax, or Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a technology designed to provide wireless data over long distances. It applies to point-to-point links as well as mobile cellular communication.

Basically, it’s yet another step forward for mobile VoIP. WiMAX is expected to have a huge impact on VoIP, and soon. WiMAX can be used to connect WiFi hotspots, provide a wireless alternative to cable and DSL for last-mile broadband access, high speed data and telecommunications and provide nomadic connectivity, due to its bandwidth and reach. Sprint Nextel has plans for a $3 billion WiMAX buildout over the next few years. WiMAX has potential uses from providing backhaul to wired infrastructures or enhance wireless systems.

Linking mobile VoIP to WiMAX technology makes true mobile VoIP a little closer to reality.
