Wake Me Up So We Can Talk

With more people using their laptops for Voice over IP via softphones this new Wake Up technology from Intel has a lot of GREEN benefits.

Now we can turn off the laptop or desktop, but when a call comes in (Video or VoIP) the PC will wake up.

Wake up cable technology has been around, but by embedding the technology onto the motherboard, it means that software and services that can detect the “incoming” signaling will be able to wake up and you can answer the call.

This creates a whole market for services like the “virtual wake up call.” I don’t know how many times a hotel wake up service just failed, and then I’m into scramble mode to get out and on my way. Another is the daily local weather forcast, a third would be your flight status updates. What’s more, those services could all call you and with some ingenuity you could likely capture the details in a call recording manner if you were in the shower or out of the room.

This new technology offers more than just “wake up” the PC and folks like pal and client Thomas Howe and another client IfByPhone are likely to be leading in the innovation with this in my opinion.
