This IDC study provides an overview of the small, medium-sized, and medium-sized to large business adoption of wireless technologies and networking infrastructure across Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ. Detailed analysis is conducted across a range of vertical industries, sub-regions, and company sizes and some of the primary issues covered include current and planned adoption behavior and budgeting as well as service provider selection criterion.

Main challenges faced by APEJ small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in their adoption of wireless technologies and networking infrastructure include budget constraints, keeping up with the number and sophistication of virus attacks, lack of skilled staff, and keeping the environment updated. Service providers that are able to address these concerns with cost-effective, easy-to-manage solutions focusing on low total cost of ownership (TCO) and platform integration will be at an advantage," says Alice Lai, research manager, Partnering, Channels, & SMB, IDC Asia/Pacific.
