Securing VoWiFi
Aruba Wireless Networks now says that they've released some technology to secure voice-over-WiFi (which still should be called VoWiFi) connections. The technology supposedly will automatically identify voice traffic, and will secure it - though, the article seems to be lacking some of the details concerning how it will be secured. It also appears to include some quality of service (QoS) technology to give VoIP traffic priority, which remains somewhat controversial among those who believe that data is data is data - and no data packets deserve preferential treatment. These days, though, it appears that many are realizing that reality says otherwise, and certain types of traffic are going to receive priority.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
