Marriage of VoIP and WiFi - voice over wifi

Whether you've already got a wireless LAN or just planning to build a new network from the ground up, think about the costs involved when laying a structured cable system. You can provide your employees with a better and more flexible connection deploying a range of WiFi hotspots and now you can have not only an internet access but a phone service available too.

VARBusiness recently published an article describing both benefits and obstacles on the road to true wireless office space. Lack of integration and standards supports as well as a bit on the high side prices remains major problems while an expanding presence of voice over ip phones supporting wi-fi access and their respective range of features starting from simple calling to instant messaging, presence awareness, e-mail and Web access, etc are the main driving power behind the VoFi expansion.
