Cisco and Intel joined hands to bolster VoIP over Wireless use
Intel and Cisco announced that they would improve their Wireless Local Area Network (LAN) and the use of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) with a new wireless suite. The two companies have decided to produce a new set of features that will combine wireless infrastructure and mobile chip technology to improve VoIP over the wireless use. The new features will be available in the first quarter of 2006.

The growing impact of VoIP has generated interest among the major wireless providers to opt for it. There are so many companies like Skype and Vonage who already opted for VoIP. The move of Intel and Cisco is seen as a scope for cooperation between all the companies in the VoIP field. The collaboration is very much interesting in view of the strong presence of both the companies in their respective areas. Both the companies hinted that they would work to improve the quality and security of VoIP for both the corporate and consumer wireless users. technewsworld.com reports:

Cisco and Intel stressed their focus on security in the wireless LAN collaboration: Intel will join the Cisco-led Network Admission Control (NAC) program, and Cisco is joining Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT) program. The companies, which announced the latest collaboration at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco this week, said their security and management technologies would be compatible by the fourth quarter of this year.
