So, what´s the big deal about Voice over Wireless LAN (VoWLAN) anyway? What is a dual mode phone and how does Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) work? These are the questions that many early adopters of WLAN technology are asking as they consider adding voice services onto their existing WLAN. At the same time smart companies that are new to WLAN technology are looking to future-proof their investment by deploying voice-ready WiFi networks from the start. For both new and existing WLAN customers, a little planning and analysis now will save a lot of time and money in the future.

Why all the new interest in VoWLAN and FMC? The short answer is that for many enterprises VoWLAN and FMC have the potential for large cost and productivity improvement benefits. FMC and dual mode cellular devices are beginning to deliver on the promise of a single device with a single phone number using a single voice mail.
