Cisco to Partner with Nokia on Dual Mode Phones

Ephraim Schwartz writes on InfoWorld:

With three new Wi-Fi technologies set to bolster VoIP quality, Cisco will announce this week partnerships with Nokia to build dual-mode VoIP and cellular handsets, and with Intel to create VoIP-enabled notebook PCs.

Cisco will update its wireless, client-to-network communications infrastructure CCX (Cisco Compatible Extensions) -- typically software burned into devices at the chipset level -- to support these new VoIP technologies.

Following the Cisco upgrade, dual-mode handsets from Nokia that include the latest version of CCX are expected in the fourth quarter.

The next generation of Intel Centrino chips will also include support for the latest CCX extensions.
