Olympics to drive VoIP solutions market?

Businesses in Dorset may find they are in a better position to invest in voice over internet protocol (VoIP) solutions once the effect of the Olympics has kicked in.

That is because the sporting competition has triggered an imminent upgrade of internet infrastructure in Weymouth and Portland, where the sailing events are due to take place, reported View Online.

BT announced late last year that it will include the destinations in its £2.5 billion fibre-optic broadband rollout and the installation will be completed before the Games.

It is then up to companies in the area to prove there is a demand for the technology to be retained on a permanent basis.

If it is, then an investment in VoIP solutions – which can work to their maximum on the highest quality broadband connections – may be a shrewd move for many.

WhichVoIP recently revealed its belief that an increasing number of firms are turning to VoIP over traditional telephony.
