Boingo Wireless and Texas Instruments said it was integrating VoIP support in a new chipset. At the time Vonage Vice President of Product Development Louis Holder, called the development ‘huge.’ “This enables more people” to adopt VoIP.
Vonage has not been sitting on the sidelines of VoIP integration, either. At the start of 2004, the Edison, NJ-based company unveiled plans to include its software in TI’s chips. In tandem with that announcement, wireless router makers Netgear and Linksys said they had included support for Vonage in new 802.11g gear built with TI chips.
Most recently, ailing chip maker Agere took onlookers by surprise by announcing it was dropping out of the “stand-alone Wi-Fi” market in favor of developing wireless VoIP applications.
