Why VoWiFi is essential in 2025: An Aumatics guide

Technology is evolving rapidly, and VoWiFi (Voice over Wi-Fi) is playing an increasingly important role in modern communication systems. As well as providing better coverage and cost savings, this technology is also changing how companies manage their communications. At Aumatics, experts in cybersecurity and IT solutions, we understand how important VoWiFi is for companies and individuals. In this article, we'll dive deeper into everything you need to know about VoWiFi and how Aumatics can help your business with a secure deployment.

What is VoWiFi?

VoWiFi, or Voice over Wi-Fi, is a technology that enables voice calls over Wi-Fi networks instead of traditional cellular networks. It offers an alternative to Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and is particularly useful in areas with poor cellular coverage. By using existing Wi-Fi networks, you can make calls with higher quality and lower costs.

If your organization is already using modern communication technologies, implementing VoWiFi can also contribute to better integration with other services, such as Managed IT Services, to further optimize your business processes.

‍The benefits of VoWiFi

• ‍Better coverage:
  VoWiFi works in any location where Wi-Fi is available, so you are not dependent on mobile towers. This is particularly beneficial in remote areas or office buildings with poor coverage.‍
• Cost savings:
  With VoWiFi, companies can save considerably on international calling costs. Wi-Fi calls are often not charged by mobile operators. It is important that organizations properly secure their communication channels, as recommended in our Cyber Security Services.
• Energy efficiency:
  ‍Because VoWiFi requires a less intensive connection than a cellular network, devices' battery consumption can be reduced.

How does VoWiFi work?

VoWiFi uses the same principle as VoIP (Voice over IP), but focuses specifically on voice calls over Wi-Fi. When you have a call, the audio data is sent to the provider over your Wi-Fi network. This process uses secure protocols such as IPsec to protect communication.

Organizations should consider cybersecurity risks, such as attacks via public Wi-Fi networks, when moving to VoWiFi. A strong security base, as described in our article on OT security, is essential for companies that rely on connected technologies.

VoWiFi and cybersecurity

While VoWiFi offers many benefits, it also comes with unique security challenges. Cybercriminals can try to attack Wi-Fi networks to intercept calls or steal data. Aumatics plays a crucial role in this by:

• End-to-end encryption: Securing calls from interception.
• Monitoring tools: Detecting suspicious activity in real-time.
• Tailored advice: Implementing secure networks for companies.

In addition, Managed Security Services helping organizations to constantly monitor their networks and respond quickly to threats.

Deploying VoWiFi

A successful implementation of VoWiFi requires the right hardware and expertise. Here are a few steps:

• Network optimization: Ensure strong and stable Wi-Fi signals.
• Security: Use firewalls and encryption to protect data.
• Integration: Collaborate with IT specialists, such as Aumatics, for seamless integration into your existing systems.

VoWiFi can also provide additional value for organizations that have already taken steps to comply with stricter regulations, such as the DORA legislation, where cybersecurity is a core component.
