VoIP solutions have been created to meet the current and growing needs of customers, allowing them to work remotely and increase efficiency. If you wish to better leverage your VoIP solution system, be sure to upgrade your broadband links at the same time the VoIP system is implemented as these links hold the important responsibility of successfully delivering multiple VoIP services reliably to users.
Recently, the BBC, the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) and the National Farmers Union have come together revealing that getting VoIP solutions up and running can take quite some time. The organizations are also stating that within the U.K. the planned upgrades may not cover enough area, a recent article revealed.
Andrew Cave, FSB said in a statement, "Businesses in rural areas need broadband now. [The government and Ofcom] need to move faster on this and be more ambitious."
Ofcom has responded to Cave’s frustration revealing that the transition from 3G technology to 4G is “taking place as quickly as it is possible to complete”.
Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) solutions will continue to gain traction within the business environment, as the solutions power multiple ways to communicate cost effectively. Principal Analyst at Current Analysis, Larry Hettick, recently spoke about this recent trend in an article for Network World (News - Alert) in which he revealed that there is still tons of room to grow within the VoIP solutions sector in commercial organizations. He stated, “Cable operators' success with VoIP may have peaked, especially for residential services. However, we believe opportunities for growth is still abound in the business VoIP market. The effect of wireless substitution is less of a concern in the business market sector – yet the integration of VoIP features and mobile devices remains very important for the enterprise and midsize business.”
