Great advancements in this technology in a brief period of time has increased the demand for VoIP in the communications industry. Voice Over Internet Protocol now proves to be an inexpensive and high-quality voice calling technology.
The following are the big trends that will push VoIP in the future:
1. Mobile Unified Communications (UC)
With the introduction of 5G technology and integrated apps in smartphones, the usage of smartphone apps has increased significantly.
Mobile Apps provides users with a richer VoIP & Unified Communication experience (UC). Mobile VoIP apps are playing a significant role in providing telecommuting and work from home opportunities for workers.

Better quality of call and decrease in problems like packet loss, jitter and interrupted connections.
Future availability of 4K and 8K videos thus enhancing VoIP video and provide a rich experience in web conferencing.
High speed will help in easy sending of video data.
4. Internet of Things (IoT)
IoT is playing a significant role in the telecommunication field. IoT can be used in connection with VoIP which will enhance the workplace structure i.e. Smart Office.
This will enable employees to remotely book working places, turn on or off lights and computers at a touch of a switch. There would be many VoIP Smart Office applications in future.
