communications over mobile devices is now available as through Global Technology Transfer Group (GTT). Consisting of one patent, one US patent application and a number of foreign counterparts, the portfolio goes by the name “Mobile VoIP Patent Portfolio”.

Some of the important points of the patent are, the running of VoIP software on a device, converting voice into data for transmission over a data network, and exchanging that data with a network using a short range wireless connection such as Bluetooth or WiFi

(802.11). These are also the points that make this patent special, according to the company.

VoIP software is now compatible with many cellular telephones, internet tablets, laptop computers, and other portable devices. Also connecting to a network over a WiFi (News - Alert) connection has become a common feature for such devices. There are also a number of companies that offer VoIP software that can be installed and run on these devices. In some instances, the VoIP software is pre-installed and available for use with a wireless connection out of the box.
