Wireless Fidelity has met VoIP and the result is VoWiFi. VoWiFi stands for voice over Wireless Fidelity and is basically another way of saying Wireless phones using the Internet. The future points to VoWiFi and even Cingular has begun their new VoWiFi service.

There are still many issues to work out with VoWiFi however. Security is the major issue. Many wireless networks have an overall lack of security. But this move by Cingular shows that many telephone companies do recognize the power of wireless VoIP phones.

When someone uses a wireless network, it is very easy to switch from one network to another. In fact, it is frequently known that when someone is using a wireless network, they can easily jump on another Internet network connection simply by visiting another “hotspot”. This presents many issues regarding security. Another area that will have to be worked upon is the issue of worms, viruses, and Trojans operating on the wireless network.
