Cicero Networks is a privately owned software development company based in Dublin, Ireland. It is primarily noted for pioneering work in the fields of mobile VoIP and Voice Call Continuity. History Cicero Networks was founded in 2000, trading initially under the name mQuery. In 2001, the company initiated experimental research on the use of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi as bearers for mobile VoIP, culminating in the launch of a suite of SIP-based applications in September 2003. The complete software suite was first used in a live deployment by Talk Telecom in 2005. During the mid-2000s, Cicero extended its software to facilitate in-call handover (VCC) between Wi-Fi and circuit-switched networks and, in 2007, was included on a list of 47 "Technology Pioneers" by the World Economic Forum, including for its work in the "delivery of Voice over Wireless IP". As of September 2019, the company had been put into liquidation and had ceased trading.
