VoIP, Wi-Fi, And Last But Not Least: VoWi-Fi
Interop 2005 session panelists see voice as the next big thing for Wi-Fi-based networks.
On the first day of the Interop 2005 conference in Las Vegas, the greatest buzz is around two key technology trends: Voice-over-IP, or VoIP, which helps businesses cut telecommunications costs, and products that support the Wi-Fi standards for radio-frequency-based wireless-data networks.
Conference participants aren’t stopping there. They’re also discussing a combination that’s a bit of a mouth-twister, even for an acronym: VoWiFi.
Panelists in a session Tuesday titled "802.11 and Wi-Fi: What’s Next?" unanimously agreed that VoIP and Wi-Fi will have a major impact on companies and industries.
Most laptops shipped today are Wi-Fi-enabled, and there are more than 62,000 Wi-Fi "hot-spots" worldwide in restaurants, hotels, airports, and campuses, according to the Wi-Fi Alliance, an industry trade group.
