VoIP Hooks Up With Wi-Fi

摘要

The use of voice over IP (VoIP) and wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) is on the rise at many organizations. The latest trend is to merge these two hot technologies into what's being called Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWi-Fi). The move to wireless VoIP-spurred in part by the growing demand for mobile wireless connections and the desire to keep communication costs down-is expected to deliver new sales and support opportunities for VARs. Analysts say wireless VoIP systems will likely grow in popularity as enterprises continue to roll out VoIP networks and deploy wireless LANs in buildings and office campuses. VoIP enables companies to use the Internet for phone calls, saving money over traditional telecom services. Wi-Fi is the standard for high-speed Internet access that creates wireless local networks.
