A new phone that is currently on the market, yet still in it’s early developmental stage is the Hybrid. The Hybrid phone is a cross between cellular and VoWiFi. The advantage that a Hybrid phone has, is that it can work in your network calling range as a cell phone, and then, if you leave your range, you can avoid roaming charges by accessing a VoWiFi hotspot. This saves considerable amounts of fees. There are no roaming fees involved with VoWiFi and the Hybrid phone can pick up where the other leaves off. It is the temporary solution to two technologies that both have some kinks to work out.

This is just one example of how the advances made in wireless technology are creating a host of new products. Currently Verizon is said to be developing a VoWiFi phone, and many major telephone companies are looking at WiFi as the direction of the future. Service providers who have dealt with one infrastructure for decades are now beginning to realize that technology is changing not only the future, but also the need for the products they have specialized in.

We can also expect to see many more access points opening up nationwide. Currently you can visit various websites and enter in your location or location of interest and find access points or hotspots.

With the culmination of VoIP and wireless technology the future remains a technological mystery filled with excitement and awe of things to come. As business needs continue to place a demand on more secure based wireless devices, new products will emerge that will confidently meet the requirements of the consumer. Another area of great interest to the wireless future is the prevention of viruses, Trojans, and worms from contaminating the wireless network and halting communications. Security remains the number one concern for those building a wireless world.
