Description

Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) is emerging as a key driver for WLAN technology in Europe. Although VoWLAN is faced with some key challenges today, the introduction of dual-mode handsets and the ratification of the 802.11i standard are positive indicators for the market to forge ahead in 2005. Furthermore, the recent acquisitions and partnerships that have been announced across various channels in the VoWLAN value chain clearly indicate that firms see VoWLAN as a cost-efficient solution with benefits for their customers. This research service will provide an in-depth analysis of the prospects for deploying VoWLAN in Europe in both consumer and enterprise markets and examines the overall impact of VoWLAN on the fixed and mobile service providers.
