What are the shortcomings of Wireless Digital Voice today?
Traditionally, four factors have hindered the adoption of Wireless Digital Voice. First, the 802.11 standard poses scalability challenges for enterprise class Digital Voice deployments. Second, Quality of Service (QoS) has been lacking in wireless networks. The 802.11(e) version of the standard is specified to include QoS support. Third, implementing and maintaining a Wireless Digital Voice solution can be expensive and time consuming. Fourth, fast roaming is required for Wireless Digital Voice to operate in a seamless manner, something promised by the 802.11(r) standard.
