| VoWLAN/Cellular Convergence |
 |
For the last three years, cellular operators have
remained focused on offering new higher-speed data services, which are finally
here, but have often received lackluster intertest from customers. At the same
time, the wired telecom world has been quickly moving forward to embrace Voice
over IP (VoIP) technology, which even long-time wired telecom king, AT&T, is now
ofering. But VoIP hasn't been confined to the wired world, and a new technology,
Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) has been emerging at price competitive costs.
The marriage of voice cellular with VoWLAN is the topic of this report.
This report looks at Cellular/VoWLAN convergence from both a carrier view and
a device maker view, and explores some of the pros, cons, and obstacles with bringing
this tecgnology to market. Forecasts include Voice cellular device shipments with
converged WLAN used for data only and voice and data. Worldwide and US forecasts
are included, as are forecasts that are broken out by business and consumer.
