| Demand for Wireless VoIP Applications
and Services in the Business Environment |
 |
Wireless voice over IP (VoIP) has become
a hot topic of conversation lately. Now that some companies provide
cheap, if not free, wireline VoIP service, interest has spread to
the opportunities for VoIP in the wireless environment. At one level,
wireless VoIP can be contained just to the Local Area Network (LAN)
level, where voice communication can be provided to a company over
an enterprise wireless LAN, similar to a cordless phone capability.
At another level, wireless VoIP can be attainable over the Wide Area
Network (WAN), providing voice access through data-centric devices
such as PDAs and laptops. And, of course, the ultimate utopia is linking
these two technologies to provide seamless voice access over wireless
LAN and WAN environments.
This report provides an overview of the wireless VoIP market,
particularly as it relates to the wireless WAN. It discusses interest
in various wireless VoIP-enabled applications from the perspective
of the business, as well as the end-user, and it provides subscriber
forecasts for cellular/WLAN service users. |
