[cisco-voip] Cisco Mobile 8.0 / CUMA

[Tim Frazee]

It seems to me that Cisco really messed up with this product. They have
named 2 products with very, very similar names and very similar functions.
This confusion I'm sure is farther than just what we see here on this list.

Here is what I know about:

Cisco Mobile 8.0 for iPhone:
*SIP phone for iPhone, registers via wifi
*routes voice traffic via IP

CUMA-client for iPhone, (Cisco Mobile)
*similar products for windows mobile, nokia and blackberry
*requires cuma server
*does not route voice traffic via IP (calls route via PSTN)
*proprietary call control/information via SSL IP

The 2 products are a bit different in how they do what they do and take a
much different approach in how they do it.

CUMA has some pretty steep requirements as far as network, CUCM setup,
directory requirements and deployment. The Cisco Mobile 8.0 app has none of
these requirements.

Its better to think of Cisco Mobile 8.0 as Cisco Mobile lite.
