communications and now also wireless communications, conference calls are increasing in demand.
Teleconferencing and the ability to have a conference call with contacts at a different physical location is proving valuable for business and personal communications needs.
With the addition of Voice over IP (VoIP
) and wireless, more teleconferencing capabilities are becoming available to provide users with landline IP and wireless phones the ability to have a conference call.
Teleconferencing and the ability for users to communicate via a conference call has increased productivity and provided a much more convenient alternative to costly travel.
For the teleconferencing market, this boost in network services and solutions is fostering a greater demand in teleconferencing and a greater investment in teleconferencing equipment as well as allowing for global expansion.
Conference calls have also become more available as low cost broadband connections and wireless networks increase in popularity. With wireless connections, users are able to participate in a conference call even while on the go.
