Future of Mobile VOIP
Mobile VOIP is a term which is slowly gaining popularity in the telecommunications circuit. It is one such technology which will bring forth the joy of cross country calling to an altogether new level. VOIP or Voice over Internet Protocol uses the medium of internet for the transmission of voice date from one corner to another thus enabling telephonic conversation. It is relatively a cheaper method of calling which saves you much on international calling rates.
Companies like Skype and Truphone have made millions using this technology.
Earlier this technology was restricted to just landlines and PC but now it has moved over to your mobile handsets as well. This would enable you to stay connected with your loved ones all the time and also enjoy unique features of VOIP. What more, it would save you oodles of cost! However, this cost effectiveness of Mobile VOIP is something which was making the mobile carriers reluctant to adapt it. It would mean loss of revenues for many operators. But they have slowly risen to the growing popularity of VOIP in mobile phones. One cannot remain ignorant to the need of customers for long. With smart phones like iPhone, Droid, Sprint EVO etc. that make use of 3G and 4G technology ruling the mobile market, VOIP is indeed a much better option than WI-FI.
The future of Mobile VOIP looks bright as predicted by the Juniper Research. According to this report mobile VOIP users will increase by manifolds by the year 2012.
The major findings of the research were
•Mobile VOIP in developed markets will steadily rise due to the increasing demand for global networking for professional as well social purposes.
•Mobile VOIP in developing markets will rise even more than in developed markets due to the heavy traffic volume generated by migrant workers.
•Alliance formed between the traditional operators and Mobile VOIP providers would work best in the future.
Next time you find a Mobile VOIP enabled phone then just grab hold of it. It is the future!
