Enterprise Mobility Revolution: Breaking Away from the Confines of the Desk

Business Wire, Sept 23, 2008

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- The Information & Communication Technologies practice at Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce its 2008 Quarterly Analyst Briefing Presentation on the North American mobile enterprise communication market to be held on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 at 12:00 p.m. PDT.

New technologies and new demands have coupled to create a workforce that is highly independent from the physical location of the workplace. Workers no longer require a physical desk in a physical office to get their job done. Instead, today's workers can conduct their business from almost any place around the world. Different categories are used to classify these non-deskbound workers: telecommuters, road warriors, mobile professionals, campus nomads, remote workers, etc. Regardless of the label, multiple enterprise devices and software clients are emerging to satisfy the needs and behaviors of different enterprise users.

The briefing will identify market drivers, restraints, competitive issues and growth opportunities within the NA Enterprise DECT, VoWLAN and Fixed-Mobile Clients Markets. Through extensive primary and secondary research, this analysis will provide telecommunication providers and manufacturers with an interesting look at the dynamics of a changing market. The briefing will provide vendors with valuable insights to increase their footprint and penetration opportunities within the mobile enterprise communication marketplace.

"The general 'Mobility Revolution,' growing penetration of WLAN networks, increased availability of advanced single-mode and dual-mode handsets, and progress of newly developed industry standards such as 802.11n are the factors driving the penetration of VoWLAN devices," said Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Alaa Saayed. "VoWLAN is, however, likely to face considerable competition from DECT phones and fixed-mobile soft clients that offer some specific benefits to enterprises and end users."
