Summary
Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWi-Fi ) allows users to make and receive voice calls over their Wi-Fi networks. It is rapidly gaining popularity as more voice-capable devices, such as dual-mode phones with cellular and Wi-Fi technology, become more available. The healthcare and education industries are using Wi-Fi networks as the backbone of their phone systems. However, providing mobility for phone calls using an existing Wi-Fi infrastructure can put a strain on the network, leading to bandwidth reduction. New equipment and network elements need to be in place to support robust applications like VoWi-Fi.
