Voip phone

Worldwide trends emphasizing digital technology and expanded applications are sustaining Greater China's voip phone industry despite the steady decline in demand for fixed line phones. The shrinking supplier population — more than 50 makers from over 100 suppliers in early 2005 — is staying afloat by shifting to digital from analog, and to high frequencies from low frequencies. These R&D and production shifts, projected in the voip phone: Supplier capability in mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, published in January 2005, have driven the growth of 2.4GHz and DECT gsm phones. Despite the drop in the number of active makers in mainland China, which now has nearly 30 voip phone makers, it is still one of the top three largest voip phone manufacturing bases worldwide. Many mainland China makers have moved to 2.4GHz production, although some continue to maintain a small volume of 46/49MHz cordless phones.
