Kochi: Britain's KloudPaD, a mobile electronics convergence brand, is ready with
its non-GSM based wireless open phone memmoo network for consumers
in Kerala.
This was announced at the Emerging Kerala investor meet that
concluded at Kochi Friday by the inventors - two brothers - who
hail from Thiruvananthapuram but are now based in Britain.
"This is the world's first social network mobile phone without a
GSM architecture and can be operated at one tenth cost of existing
mobile networks. This is an open network and is called the memmoo
network," said Aromal Jayaraj, co-founder and director of KloudPaD.
This network can be enabled on all mobile handsets and it operates
using a combination of FM radio and wireless radio frequency.
Their mentor for this is Austrian professor P. Rapagic, at the
University of Greenwich in Britain, who co-discovered the fax
modem.
"The guiding principle in this is one world, one network. There is
no need for connecting with the nearest mobile tower, as seen in
present mobile operators. All one needs to do is create a memmoo
profile and soon you will know where one is present, who are the
other memmoo profile holders and can interact with them with no
cost," said Jayaraj to IANS.
The two brothers arrived as part of a 45-member UK delegation for
the three-day event that got over Friday.
The have decided to set up operations at the Start Up Village in
Kochi by setting up a product development and R&D centre.
"This technology is at present used by the US Military and we are
bringing this out in the commercial market for the first time. It
is a network of the people, by the people and for the people,"
said Jayaraj.
