Key issues examined in this report...
  • Increasing complexity and scope. This is driving the need for more centralized management of WLAN solutions and hence vendors need to develop strong product differentiation. Furthermore, while access points are starting to become commodities, WLAN switches still offer considerable margin potential for vendors due to the more nascent nature of this section of the market.
  • Mobile device manufacturers and service providers should work to promote their phones as authentication devices in their own right to open up the potential for greater mPayment applications.
  • Mobile Security is still perceived to be an issue despite vendors’ claims that it is not a problem. The cost of deploying mobility solutions and a lack of understanding of all the associated costs are also preventing enterprises from investing.
  • Only 5% of the IT managers surveyed are investing in mobility as their biggest IT project in 2006, illustrating that mobility investment is not typically the number one priority for the majority of enterprises.
