VoIP Going Wireless

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the now-give-me-the-hardware dept.

imashoe writes "CNet's News.com reports on the wireless future of VoIP. Similarly BonaFideReviews.com has published an interesting article that attempts to predict what the future of voice communications will be like. The two editorals seem to agree that VoIP is going mobile and in a big way."

    If you want, you can run a free VoIP quality test at http://testyourvoip.com/. So if you have wireless, or want to place a VoIP call over your Cell data link (for whatever perverse reason) you can check your quality before setting it all up if you have a web browser with Java enabled.

  2. Wireless VoIP by Khyber · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Knowing how weather is prone to interfere with cellular communications right now, how are they going to make wireless VoIP proof against mother nature?

    And I can really imagine how much it's going to suck if lightning takes out a tower.

    Really, we don't even have widespread wifi access across the country. What's the point of doing this now when the infrastructure doesn't fully exist in all areas?
