But voice over wireless LAN (VoWLAN) technology may be the next step. Although the WLAN has a lot less bandwidth than a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet wired network, there is a case to be made for it. Infonetics Research notes the growing presence of WLANs in the enterprise, predicting that WLAN deployments will increase threefold over the next two years, in part, driven by the availability of wireless VoIP handsets and voice-enabling wireless technology. Telecom pricing structures based on time and distance are being challenged by VoIP providers (giving incumbent telcos a run for their money), and wireless VoIP will further disrupt the industry as it presents more innovation and competitive opportunities.
