Industry's Premier VoIP Trade Show Begins in Boston Today
IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hop-On, Inc. (OTC:
HPNN) announced today that it will exhibit its recently introduced Wi-Fi
handset in Booth #1334 at the 9th annual Fall VON Conference and Expo being
held at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center from September 20th to
22nd. The VON Expo is the VoIP industry trade show featuring all of the
leading vendors in the IP communications industry. For more information on
the Fall VON Conference, visit http://www.pulver.com/von or http://www.von.com.
Hop-on will showcase its HOP1515 Wi-Fi IP phone and software solution that
unchains users from their fixed phone lines, allowing them to make secure
calls from anywhere there is a Wi-Fi hot spot - at home, at work, around town;
in airports, coffee shops, & hotels and even internationally. The HOP1515
handset provides all the features and functionality of a VoIP terminal adapter
but has the advantage of enabling users to talk from any available public or
private Wi-Fi access point with complete security, authentication and roaming
capability.
Hop-on and its industry leading security partners, has developed a total
solution package for carriers and hotspot owners, which enables seamless
authentication and billing enablement for the carrier. Utilizing the Virtual
SIM (VSIM) patented software technology, which replicates the same benefits of
GSM/CDMA security and authentication in Wi-Fi phones, Hop-on has now
substantially reduced the security and billing challenges faced by carriers.
Solution highlights:
-- Handset Identification: The VSIM solution enables, as its primary
value, non-ambiguous identification of a "handset", protecting it
against impersonation, anti-replay and fraud. The unbreakable VSIM
scheme allows Service Providers to address the more challenging and
demanding security needs related to mobile VoIP terminals to operate on
a public infrastructure.
-- Managing user access rights: VSIM exchanges allow for the transport of
dynamically updated information regarding user access rights. This
feature, which does not require a tight synchronization with billing
systems, provides a complementary security level regarding subscriber
consumption.
-- Usage monitoring: VSIM billing ticket management monitors access and
services usage. It provides an additional level of information derived
from connection monitoring that can serve to crosscheck or increase
existing billing system accuracy.
-- Encryption: VSIM provides an encryption mechanism for the media flow
itself, applicable to voice, data or video streams on the handset.
Dan Gannon, Chief Executive Officer of Hop-on commented, "Wi-Fi phones
have not yet been deployed in quantity by carriers due to security challenges
such as fraud, theft of call information, passwords and the lack of 911
Emergency Service. However, Hop-on's VoIP solution enables these providers to
offer both a low cost handset as well as billing and security enablement which
we believe will help overcome these challenges. As evidenced by the recent
agreement by EBay to purchase VoIP provider Skype for $4.1 billion, the market
is recognizing the potential for VoIP as a dynamic growth industry that will
have an increased appetite for Hop-on's Wi-Fi handsets. While the product we
are showcasing at this trade show is a single mode (Wi-Fi only) handset, we
are also developing dual mode handsets (GSM/Wi-Fi and CDMA/Wi-Fi) that will
provide customers with the flexibility of accessing both a traditional
wireless carrier's network and a Wi-Fi hot spot."
