Wireless VoIP gains traction in business market

Businesses are starting to implement wireless voice over IP systems, according to research by In-Stat.

In a recent survey of more than 300 medium and large enterprises, 23% of decision-maker respondents said they had already deployed wireless VoIP in some manner, and a further 30% said they were planning or evaluating VoIP implementation within the next six to 12 months.

The high-tech research firm also found that respondents were most interested in the ability to make phone calls from laptop and PDAs, and in unified messaging (giving access to e-mail messages from voicemail boxes).
