Wireless telephone systems that operate over Wi-Fi networks and integrate with an enterprise's existing telephone system provide communication access anywhere in the workplace, enabling greater workplace mobility, higher productivity, and rapid response to customers.

Wireless telephones operate as client devices on Wi-Fi networks utilizing the IEEE 802.11 global standards, allowing converged mobile voice and data applications on a single wireless infrastructure. A quality-of-service (QoS) mechanism, is employed on the wireless LAN to ensure excellent voice quality with minimal impact on data throughput.

A WLAN that provides network connectivity to network resources is far different from one that supports voice. Voice over wireless LAN (VoWLAN) is one of the most demanding applications for a WLAN, and designs must assure high availability, high capacity, low latency and sufficient access point coverage cell overlap to support the application.

Azure's unparalleled experience in designing WLANs that support mission-critical applications such as voice and location services makes it the perfect partner for designing a WLAN that will support telephony over the WLAN. We've designed such networks for clients ranging from Fortune 500 manufacturers to small and mid-size enterprises.
