Yankee study says enterprises will wait for wireless WAN
January 13 13:14:00, 2003

BEDMINSTER, N.J.—According to a report from The Yankee Group, commissioned by Flarion
Technologies, 60 percent of
corporate enterprise customers would rather wait for wireless WAN technologies that meet
their technical requirements
than deploy an inadequate solution.

“The demand for wireless data within the enterprise is already there, however market
growth is currently being stifled
by technical barriers which include compatibility with existing LANs and devices,
security, ubiquity of coverage and
network latency,” explained Phil Marshall, director of wireless research for The Yankee
Group. “For wireless data to really
take off, mobile operators and infrastructure vendors need to make wireless more friendly
to corporate networks.”

According to the report, data applications enterprises are most interested in are: remote
access to corporate data or
applications; wireless e-mail and calendar access; work force automation; browsing and Web
services; and customer
facing applications. Those interested in data applications also expressed beliefs that
enterprise data solutions would
lead to operational cost savings as well as new business and sales opportunities.
