The combination of Wireless
and VoIP has led to another invention-VoWiFi.
VoWiFi stands for Voice over Wireless Fidelity. VoWiFi has also
produced the new VoWiFi phones.
These
phones operate like cell phones, only they use VoIP technology,
(transmit over the Internet)
and are wireless, operating in various hotspots.
Other
major telephone companies are embracing VoWiFi technology.
Currently
Cingular has a VoWiFi plan available. Though this technology
is still relatively new, we can expect to see a great increase
in both products and service providers in the next coming years.
People
need wireless technology. They need to conduct meetings
while being mobile, to be able to stay in touch with clients,
customers, employees, and employers. The technological community
is addressing these needs as quickly as they can. It seems that
technology is developing faster than people can keep up with
it, and definitely faster than it can be regulated.
A new phone that is currently on the market,
yet still in it’s early developmental stage is the Hybrid.
The Hybrid phone is a cross between cellular and
VoWiFi. The
advantage that a Hybrid phone has, is that it can work in your
network calling range as a cell phone, and then, if you leave
your range, you can avoid roaming charges by accessing a VoWiFi
hotspot. This saves considerable amounts of fees. There are
no roaming fees involved with VoWiFi and the Hybrid phone can
pick up where the other leaves off. It is the temporary solution
to two technologies that both have some kinks to work out.
This is just one example of how the advances made in wireless
technology are creating a host of new products. Currently
Verizon is said to be developing a VoWiFi phone, and many
major telephone companies are looking at WiFi as the direction
of the future. Service providers who have dealt with one
infrastructure for decades are now beginning to realize that
technology is changing not only the future, but also the
need for the products they have specialized in.
We can also expect to see many more access points opening
up nationwide. Currently you can visit various websites and
enter in your location or location of interest and find access
points or hotspots.
With the culmination of VoIP
and wireless technology the future
remains a technological mystery filled with excitement and
awe of things to come. As business needs continue to place
a demand on more secure based wireless devices, new products
will emerge that will confidently meet the requirements of
the consumer. Another area of great interest to the wireless
future is the prevention of viruses, Trojans, and worms from
contaminating the wireless network and halting communications.
Security remains the number one concern for those building
a wireless world.
