Voice over WLAN

from a VOIP Planet article: "......While many vendors are trumpeting advances in voice over WLAN (also known as VoWiFi or wVoIP), they are nonetheless working against fundamental problems inherent in the IEEE 802.11 standard that underpins most wireless LAN technology-and therefore most wVoIP. .... The result: a wireless LAN architecture highly friendly to voice traffic...... The Extricom system consists of a centralized switch (not an unusual feature in today's Wi-Fi world) "directing," in the company's parlance, groups of ultra-thin access points. "Ultra-thin" means there is a complete absence of "intelligence"-software or storage-on the units. They are just radio conduits linking clients (phones and computers) to the switch. "
