This IDC study analyses the current dynamics of the wireless VoIP market, the drivers and inhibitors behind its rise to fame and subsequently profiles the key players of this fast emerging market.

"IDC believes that 2006 will be the year of trials and proof-of-concepts of wireless VoIP deployments and this will be particularly driven by the mass market availability of dual-mode (WiFi/GSM) handsets as well as IP telephony vendors' integration of FMC features into their IP PBXs," said Shing Quah, market analyst, Telecommunications, IDC Australia. Added Susana Vidal, senior analyst, Telecommunications, IDC Australia, "Enterprises are moving beyond cost saving to focusing on applications available through VoIP systems as their key reasons for deployment; this implies that there will be increased interest in ensuring that their WLAN and VoIP systems are ready for future wireless VoIP deployments."
