Wi-Fi Telephony: Challenges and Solutions for Voice over WLANs

by Praphul Chandra, David Lide

Overview

Wi-Fi telephony is the latest, most cost effective, and clearest way of carrying voice data wirelessly. The great news is that it can be integrated seamlessly into the same infrastructures as currently used for computer and telephone data.The digital quality is far above current cellular technologies.

This book will be among the first to discuss Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), Quality of Service (QoS), and interoperability in connection with Wi-Fi telephony. Security challenges are also presented and solved along these malleable wireless boundaries. In short, this book provides all the information necessary for effective, reliable, crystal clear Wi-Fi telephony service and implementation.


*Using current telephone and computer infrastructure this technology can be implemented at low cost
*The importance of Quality of Service (QoS) and security of Wi-Fi telephony is considered
*Enhances the clarity of a call beyond a basic cellular phone using digital data transfer
