IWK Reports:
Vo-Fi is making its way into the enterprise, putting the holy grail of mobility within reach. This report
will prepare you for the obstacles will encounter.
Voice over IP on Wi-Fi has been promoted by some vendors and analysts as a killer application,
but the adoption of this technology has fallen short of expectations, with significant business
and technological obstacles impeding it. In certain vertical markets, including health care and
retail, Vo-Fi has delivered healthy return on investment, but the technology has been relatively
slow to gain traction in the carpeted enterprise. However, the recent emergence of fixed-mobile
convergence solutions based on dual-mode phones capable of operating over both WLANs and
cellular networks is breathing new life into this market. As the path to a new age of mobile data
and voice services is carved out, this area will become increasingly critical to IT. This report
provides a comprehensive assessment of Vo-Fi implementation in the enterprise, drawing from
the author's extensive experience with mobility issues, as well as research conducted among
technology professionals.
