I have a corporate client that is in the food distribution business and they
have approx 50 Symbol access points in their warehouse. They dispatch the
fork lift operators by sending computer generated pick-lists via voice
over 802.11g. The fork lift operators where some form of wireless receiver
on their belt, and listen to the audio via an internal speaker.

A little different then voip but same principle. They seem to like it.
(I didn't engineer their system, so don't know anything more about it.)
