All cutting edge technologies have a specific lifecycle that includes their inception, general adoption, and gradual decline. This is a process that inevitably ends with a retirement of the technology with an end-of-life or end-of-service announcement from service providers. Cellular networks are no exception, and 2G and 3G retirement dates have already been set by most U.S. mobile service providers.
The way we work is changing faster than ever before, and communications tools are called upon to conform to this ever-changing approach to working. For this reason, Yealink is future-proofing its line of communications technology by forecasting future needs based on today’s trends.
