HTC - Mobile VoIP

"HTC is definitely one of the pioneers of mass-market mobile VoIP, it started pilot VoIP projects long ago," said Slava Borilin, VP Products at Spirit. "As mobile VoIP adoption moves from pilots to world top carriers and services providers, vendors need proven Voice Engine solutions from Spirit. As market demand matures, service providers and OEMs need higher voice quality, as quality is tightly related to subscribers' satisfaction and churn/retain rates. Experienced SPs and OEMs measure quality of VoIP solutions in the real environments with industrial VoIP testing equipment, setting high expectations for voice quality that only Spirit meets today."

Spirit surpasses all competitive solutions, delivering 4.32 MOS quality for VoIP calls over WiFi in lengthy 30+ minutes calls, according to the test results of a major Asian mobile carrier. The average real conversation voice quality delivered by typical VoIP service providers nowadays is less then 3.9MOS, according to the estimations of a leading European VoIP operator. Mobile video over IP is a next step for mobile devices. Spirit with its new product TeamSpirit Mobile Voice & Video is setting new quality level for the whole industry now, already delivering 3-way video-conference call on mobile feature-phones.

 

TeamSpirit Mobile voice engine

TeamSpirit Mobile voice engine runs on HTC devices promoted by several largest mobile operators in Asia, Japan and Europe under different brand names. Spirit-HTC cooperation has started in 2005, when Spirit's voice enhancement software was integrated into HTC Universal (the world's first 3G Video Telephony smart phone based on Windows Mobile 5.0), HTC Breeze and other HTC phones to deliver superior voice quality in full-duplex voice and video conferencing to T-Mobile, Orange, Vodafone and other carriers. The latest Spirit - HTC deal signed in 2007 is the natural evolvement of long-term tight cooperation between the 2 companies.
