Internet phone giant Vonage plans to get seriously into WiFi next year, making it easier for globe-trotting customers to connect via a laptop or smartphone.
Chairman Jeffrey Citron didn’t offer details on specific products but said he expects WiFi to inspire a significant overhaul of the company’s range of handsets and other VoIP-targeted products.
“There's so much possibility out there with the construction of mobile WiFi networks going up all over the place, much of that construction is expected to be complete during the 2007, 2008 timeframes,” he said. “For us it will be another generation of handsets for sure, and those handsets will of course...take advantage of the new trends in this space.”
