Voice over wireless local area network (WLAN) is a technology that enables voice communication to be transmitted over a wireless network instead of traditional wired telephone systems. It allows voice data to be sent as packets over the same wireless infrastructure used for data communication. This technology improves mobility and flexibility by integrating voice and data services within a single wireless network, enabling seamless communication, efficient resource utilization, and simplified network management.
The primary components of the voice over wireless local area network (WLAN) market are hardware, software, and services. Hardware includes the physical devices that support stable, seamless voice and data communication over a wireless network. It utilizes technologies such as wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) calling, voice over internet protocol (VoIP), internet protocol (IP) telephony, and session initiation protocol (SIP). These solutions can be deployed in cloud-based or hybrid models and are used for applications such as unified communication and collaboration, security and emergency alarms, and others. They serve a range of end-user industries, including residential, healthcare, banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), information technology (IT) and telecommunications, government and public sector, retail, warehouses and e-commerce, general manufacturing, transportation and logistics, and other sectors.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the information technology sector, particularly in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Higher duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have raised production and operational costs for tech firms, cloud service providers, and data centers. Companies relying on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are facing longer lead times and increased pricing pressures. In parallel, tariffs on specialized software tools and retaliatory measures from key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and reduced overseas demand for U.S.-developed technologies. To navigate these challenges, the sector is accelerating investments in domestic chip fabrication, diversifying supplier bases, and adopting AI-driven automation to enhance operational resilience and cost efficiency.
