Qovia Readies Tool To Block VoIP Spam: Page 2 of 2

VoIP systems are not less expensive than traditional systems, however, they provide the potential of higher worker productivity by combing voice and data services, such as the ability to access voice mail through a notebook.

Because VoIP spam doesn't exist, Qovia's technology has yet to be tested in the real world. "We have demonstrated in the lab that you can generate VoIP spam, and we have built the tools to block it," Pierce Reid, vice president of marketing, said.

Qovia's anti-spam software will be sold separately, but pricing has not been determined. The complete VoIP monitoring and management system, however, costs between 10 percent and 20 percent of a company's Internet telephony system.
