New report assesses current wireless internet technology trends and business
models
June 17, 2003
There is a powerful trend toward seamless mobility in the wireless industry,
where mobile professionals today and eventually all consumers in the future
will want to communicate and be able to do their daily business anytime,
anywhere. As a result, there is real demand for ubiquitous connectivity
between a wide variety of mobile devices and access technologies, which,
at least for now, include wireless wide-area networks (WWANs) and wireless
local-area networks (WLANs). Roaming and communications between these
technologies are therefore "must-haves" for seamless mobility to occur.
According to Seamless Mobility: The Marriage of 3G and Wi-Fi, recently
published by the International Engineering Consortium, to realize the
potential of seamless mobility and ensure continued profitability, service
providers must focus as much on WLAN implementations as on that of cellular
WWANs. Wi-Fi and traditional wireless services are adjuncts that can exist
and succeed together to provide consumers what they want, when they want
it.
"The wireless network of the future will be a hybrid of 2G/2.5G/3G/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/UWB
technologies with roaming/billing systems that provide the bridge. The
day is just around the corner where there will be contiguous Wi-Fi coverage
in dense metro areas and 2.5G or 3G in more outlying areas. Service providers
will derive their revenues through guaranteed service levels and content,"
says the author of Seamless Mobility, Goli Ameri, founder and president
of eTinium, a telecom consulting and market research firm specializing
in wireless technologies.
Seamless Mobility details how customers will use these technologies for
different reasons and at different times. The 2.5G and 3G technologies
such as GPRS, EDGE, CDMA 1XRTT, and CDMA 1xEV-DO will be used for applications
requiring instant gratification and bursty data: e-mail, calendar access,
text messaging, and MMS, among others. But WLANs will be used in specific
locations where users need access to their corporate files and intranets.
