The Register: Agere designs wireless VoIP chipset

Media attention is growing in the area of Voice over WiFi. Enabling Wireless PDA’s or dedicated phone handsets to communicate via standard Voice-over-IP, would allow really low-cost, mobile telephony in the office, the warehouse or the home.

One of the more important recent announcements in this area is Agere’s announcement that it will launch an integrated chipset that combines VoIP and WiFi, in one low-cost chip.

Agere’s wireless VoIP phone technology offers the promise of making low-cost, mobile phone calls over the Internet more widely available once the chips become available from September.
