I’ve been touting the potential of VoIP over WiFi for many moons as longtime readers of this blog will recall. Now it seems the future is getting cleared as Glenn Fleishman in his most excellent and must read blog on all things WiFi and Wireless has pointed out via a Wall Street Journal.
What is becoming clearer is that the devices are on their way, and that the cell carriers, at least in the USA, see that the blending of WiFi, VoIP and a Cellphone number is all in everyone’s best interest.
This is a huge benefit for Bridgeport-Networks, as they are poised to be a significant player in this true roaming and handoff game. Their technology sits inside the carrier’s Network Operations Center and makes magic happen in an era where users want less to do to roam, and carriers want easier solutions.
