Speaking On Wireless


Wireless IP telephony, converged wireless LANs (WLANs, and Voice over WLANs (VoWLANs) are all different names for the same set of technologies. They all extend and leverage the ubiquity of Ethernet networks and the Internet to offer a new dimension in productivity for business users, by combining voice and data with an un-tethered or mobile connection. In so doing, they radically redefine the meaning of the workspace. Gartner Group says that, “The notion of the office as a fixed location will give way to a situation where ‘office’ is just the act of paying attention to work through always-on access.” A Gartner study suggested that enterprises could expect a 22-percent productivity improvement by introducing WLANs. WLANs can provide mobile, high-speed connectivity when and where needed not only for data but also for telephony.
