When it comes to the communications technology wish lists of enterprises, mobility is today a common item to be included. Despite the benefits of wireless, though, some important questions arise when deploying 802.11-based products and services.

 

Common considerations involved with 802.11 is the topic of a session titled “Introduction to WiFi Telephony,” to be held at Internet Telephony Conference & EXPO (in San Diego October 10-13, 2006). The session is being presented by Karen Hong, Director of Consumer Product Marketing at 8x8, Inc.; and David Fridley, Product Manager of Toshiba’s IP Telephony Solutions department.

 

The session, scheduled for October 11, 2006, from 8:30 to 9:15 a.m., will address many of the issues involved with 802.11 technology.

 

Some of those issues include: network security, delivering enterprise-specific features throughout an 802.11 network, technical considerations when integrating 802.11 into an existing converged infrastructure, and vendor-neutral practical applications.

 

Attendees interested in learning more about wireless telephony can visit the booths for 8x8 (News - Alert) and Toshiba (News - Alert) at the show, #513 and #400, respectively. Even more information on the topic is available on 8x8’s TMCnet.com channel, Small Business VoIP.
