Now everyone that has implemented some type of voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) solution has realized the many benefits attributed such as reduced costs, increased scalability and more effective communication across the entire organization and outside of it.
And in 2011, the overwhelming popularity of these solutions has led to In-Stat (News - Alert) predicting that mobile VoIP services actually tripled in users during this twelve month period. “While VoIP is a well-defined market, mobile VoIP is still in its infancy, with most offerings only being developed over the past several years -- and because it's in its nascent stage, there are significant opportunities for companies to develop the market," Amy Cravens, senior analyst at In-Stat said in a statement.
In fact, the company’s latest results show the number of mobile VoIP users in 2011 should grow from nine million in 2009 to around 29 million—pretty astounding if you ask this editor. In addition, In Stat revealed that the revenue from VoIP will grow to an impressive $4 billion by the year 2015.
TMCnet recently reported that a leading provider of VoIP solutions, Teo, powers E911 solutions that have the ability to locate exactly where the caller is situated and then immediately alert emergency faculty through screen pops and emails that are sent directly to their desktops, as well as text messages that are sent to pagers, mobile phones and call-alerting displays. Due to these VoIP solutions, it no longer matters where you are because detailed information regarding the emergency will be provided to you in seconds, allowing you to rescue and offer assistance to those in great despair.
Moreover, the Teo E911 Emergency Response System can dramatically improve procedures at any organization, and boasts the ability to be seamlessly integrated with any ISDN PRI output, or PBX (News - Alert).
