The Washington Network, Inc. Educates Customers on Mobile VoIP Technology


Small to Mid-Sized Companies to Benefit from Latest Advancements in Mobile Communications Technology

Alexandria, VA  — October 14, 2010 — The Washington Network, Inc., an industry leader in unified communications announced today that recent statistics by the industry’s leading research firms are showing that mobile Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is poised to revolutionize the communications industry. VoIP is increasing profitability and providing substantial benefits to small to medium sized businesses (SMB) across the globe.
   

Juniper Research, who specializes in appraising high growth opportunities for the mobile markets, “expects the total number of mobile VoIP users to exceed 100 million by 2012.” It’s easy to see that mobile VoIP is the future of communications technology. Rick Endres, President of The Washington Network, Inc. states, “As a trusted technology advisor we feel obligated to educate our customers about the business benefits of mobile VoIP and how it can enhance the way they communicate. It’s up to us to find the technologies that make our customers more profitable.”

Traditional VoIP has been around for over a decade, but Internet bandwidth has not been able to adequately support VoIP until more recently. Over the course of its lifetime, new developments have stabilized VoIP’s performance and this explains the dramatic increase in demand for the technology, especially among SMBs. VoIP’s primary appeal is its sizable cost savings for end users. In the current market, VoIP has been an obvious choice for most business owners. However, for the past several years SMBs were limited to only using VoIP at the office or at home. Mobile VoIP has bridged this gap and now allows users to enjoy all of the benefits of VoIP technology from their cell phone. Mobile VoIP enhances integrations with applications such as presence management, find me follow me and unified messaging.

As smart phones, like Apple’s iPhone and Motorola’s Droid, continue to grow in popularity, so does the market for mobile VoIP. SMB’s are being educated on the value of mobile VoIP and as a result, demand for this technology is accelerating.
