wireless technologies through our articles and with the passage of time we've seen how these technologies have evolved. Today, these technologies have matured to such an extent that they've ceased to remain just a product or a technology but are influencing our lives in a big way.

Our future no doubt lies in a wireless world and in this article we'll see how wireless devices influence our official, personal and social Lives, and the technologies behind all this.

VoWLAN in enterprises
For today's enterprises, the biggest challenge is to contact the right person at the right time through the right medium. This is of course is not the core objective of wireless but a very important application nonetheless. The most prominent technology that we have see in this arena is VoWLAN.

The technology is not rocket science or something that has just come out of research labs but is essentially two technologies coupled with each other. 'Vo' stands for Voice and WLAN for WiFi. This means voice over standard WiFi links.

Of course it's nothing new, but by transmitting voice over WiFi links we see some intuitive products such as smart phones being devised that can be made to work on different platforms. These devices allow you to access calls on your GSM/CDMA cellular number, your landline number and your office EPABX number, from anywhere in the world.

So, you are spared the need to carry all these different devices along with you. Smartphones very intelligently take care of the handover amongst different networks and so, depending on your location, such devices can route your call either over local LAN or WiFi or over the Internet connection provided by your cellular network. So, for the person trying to contact, you are always available no matter what medium he's trying to contact you over.
