T-Mobile intros unlimited WiFi

T-Mobile USA has released the T-Mobile WiFi Calling for Business, an enterprise solution that enables users to make unlimited nationwide calls over WiFi for $10 per month, reports Xchange.

The UMA-based dual-mode offer works at any T-Mobile HotSpot or any 'open' WiFi hotspot. Calls will transfer onto T-Mobile's cellular network when outside the hotspot range.

T-Mobile also said it will be adding the BlackBerry Mobile Voice System in the coming months, becoming the second carrier after Sprint-Nextel to do so. Mobile workers can streamline their communications with one corporate phone number that simultaneously rings up to four devices, one caller ID and a consolidated voice mailbox.

Envizions converges gaming console

Envizions Computer Entertainment has revealed that it will bundle both the Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 controller and Logitech Cordless Desktop EX 100 with its Evo Smart Console, states Syt-con.

According to the company the Evo Smart Console is the first open source Linux convergence system that provides a system of tomorrow's applications.

The key features are cloud computing applications, virtualisation, causal gaming, media/files remote access, place shifting, voice recognition, biometrics, DVR, Internet TV, HD, social networking, streaming content, downloaded content, video-on-demand, built-in game SDK, VOIP home, Linux automatic backup storage and PC in one unit.

QLogic aquires NetXen

QLogic has purchased a small networking equipment developer, NetXen, to continue its storage and networking convergence strategy already started by Cisco, Broadcom and Emulex, among others, says CRN.

QLogic is one of several vendors looking at ways to converge storage, IP and clustered networks into a single network.

That convergence includes fibre channel over Ethernet, a new version of the Ethernet protocol that allows fibre channel connectivity to happen on the same network as IP traffic and which could eventually work with a variety of IP and storage protocols over a single network.
