Press Release Summary = San Francisco, CA and London, UK; 13 December 2005:
Worldwide wireless enterprise spending is set to rise from $50 billion in 2005, as
operators, handset manufacturers, enterprises and other companies begin to adopt
more coherent strategies. That is the finding from a new study, \"Wireless Enterprise
2005-2010: Successfully generating revenue in the enterprise market\", published by
industry research company, visiongain.



Press Release Body = The study also found that enterprises of varying size and
location are embracing wireless services in multiple ways and spending is set to
increase to more than $130 billion in 2008 for enterprise wireless hardware,
software and services.

\"While some of the issues that have prevented widespread deployment of data services
have been resolved, most enterprises remain organised around separate IT and
telecoms functions,\" comments report author Nancee Ruzicka. \"This corporate lack of
organisational and operational convergence makes enterprise wireless implementations
risky, expensive, and less likely to succeed,\" she adds.

The enterprise market remains one of huge untapped revenue potential for mobile
operators as they struggle with saturated penetration rates and slow consumer uptake
of mobile data services. As wireless service providers look beyond consumer and
voice services towards more lucrative enterprise and extended data services,
however, there are infrastructure, application, security, and operational issues
that must also be addressed. In addition, standards are still emerging, continuous
mobile connectivity remains a mystery, and enterprises require greater capability,
reliability and availability to truly embrace mobility.

Based on extensive primary research, including a detailed survey of the enterprise
sector, this report analyses the current and future state of the wireless enterprise
market, outlining the key issues, challenges and opportunities that exist in this
segment, as well as forecasts up to 2010.
