Wi-Fi Proves to Be a Boon for VoIP Services historically there has been almost no doubt in anyone’s mind that the crucial stumbling block for VoIP services over mobile phones has been the limitations of Internet systems. Wireless data systems have so far been fairly restrictive quality, even when being able to deliver first-rate speeds at certain times.
For VoIP, the vital factor is not the speed of the Internet connection precisely, but the stability and the ease of connectivity. If the network drops packets on a ongoing basis, is unreliable, or takes an inordinate amount of time to connect, it is more or less of no use as a VoIP service. VoIP doesn’t take up too much bandwidth as such, but it does place a premium on dependability.
Which is reasons why it has always performed better on Wi-Fi networks rather than those provided by the telecom carriers.
Wi-Fi meets all the requirements for VoIP such as durability and speed.
It is in fact, only a notch not more than wired Internet connections. It is becoming more and more ubiquitous in hotels, bars, and specific in homes, one cannot rely on a Wi-Fi network always being available. If you are traveling Whether one is driving, or is at the airport, the lack of reliable Wi-Fi connectivity pulls users to fall back to either the wireless data networks, or the voice minutes provided by their telecom carrier.
What is were in need of therefore, is more ubiquitous Wi-Fi wherever we are. Unfortunately Wi-Fi technology is such that it’s difficult to make a single carry far enough for it to be used by a extensive number of people. The only organization who has the power, money, infrastructure, and legal right to provide a huge network for public use is the authorities itself. Which is why the decision of the London government to provide free Wi-Fi for public use is so wonderful.
The Internet is a great asset. With publicly open Wi-Fi, one can just imagine the added benefit for services such as VoIP not to mention commerce and smaller business.
Free government wireless Internet would probably act as the ultimate nail in the coffin of the dated model of the telecom providers.
There’s no getting away from the fact that VoIP is the future and that new technological developments will only serve to bind that fate. It’s only a matter of amount of time before new and really improved networks like 4G, or other dazzling new technologies rise up and carry the boat of VoIP to its destination.

Broad Scale Wi-Fi Networks Corroborate to be a Vital Advantage for a VoIP Services
Wednesday 9 January 2013
WiFi is an market place standard technology that creates a chance for the enabled electronic hardware to exchange content wirelessly.
This is by using radio waves from a linkage over a computer network and then can diffuse connections to high-speed Internet connections. The WiFi Alliance defines WiFi as any wireless local area network (WLAN) products that are based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) 802.11 standards". But bear in mind, as almost 100% of modern WLAN s are following these standards. Hence the term Wi-Fi is used in general vocab as a term for WLAN.
A device that can use Wi-Fi such as a personal computer, videogame console, mobile phone ,android tablet, digital audio player, smart tv ,games console, I-phone,I-pad, separate screen and many many more products can link up to a network resource such as the Internet via a wireless network access point.
Such an access point can have a range of about 20 meters indoors and a large range outdoors. There are different methods and hardware to boost and spread the signals and that configuration is becoming an industry in itself.
Hotspot areas can consist of an area as small as a single room with walls that block radio waves or as large as many square miles this can be achieved by using multiple related access points and now usage of the cloud internet can be used to manage these points.
WiFi has been trademarked by the WiFi Alliance and the model name name for devices using the IEEE 802.11 group of standards. Only WiFi products that complete Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification testing successfully may use the WiFi CERTIFIED name and trademark.
Wi-Fi has had a checkered security system history. The encryption system of signals is recurrently evolving with usage, Wired Equivalent Privacy WEP has proved easy to break.
So much higher security protocols, WPA and WPA2, have been used . The WiFi Alliance has since updated its test plan and certification program to ensure all newly certified devices resist certain security breaches this again due to usage is a critical option for some internet users of WiFi
The internet access With WiFi
A WiFi empowered device can link up to the Internet when within range of a wireless network. The coverage of one or more access points called Wifi hotspots can stretch out from an area as small as a few rooms to as large as many square miles.
Coverage in the greater area may require a group of access points with overlapping coverage. Outdoor public Wi-Fi technology has been used with success in wireless mesh networks in a numbers of cities around the world with great beneficial results
Wi-Fi provides service in private homes, high street chains cafes,bars,hotels,fast food outlets (McDonalds,Burger King Starbucks )independent businesses, as well as municipal buildings rail networks service station networks. Also in many public spaces at Wi-Fi hotspots that are set up either free of charge or commercially.
Groups and business concerns, such as airports, hotels, and restaurants, often provide free-use hotspots to attract customers. Enthusiasts or authorities who wish to provide services or even to promote business in selected areas sometimes provide free Wi-Fi access.
Access Points with various routers that incorporate a digital subscriber line modem or a cable modem and a Wi-Fi access point, often set up in homes and other residences, provide Internet access and internet working to all devices accessing them, wirelessly or via cable.
Also there are cell run mobile routers that contain a cellular mobile Internet radio modem and WiFi access point. When subscribed to a cellular phone carrier, they allow nearby WiFi stations and devices to connect and then to start using the Internet over 2G, 3G, or 4G networks. So WiFi multiplies the devices able to hook up to an access point however that access point will be on the internet.
