While early iterations of Wi-Fi had security and Quality of Service issues, present standards have addressed them - just as improved Wi-Fi protocols have been used to expand coverage and increase the spectral frequencies upon which the protocol operates. Advances in cellular technology have created a whole new subset within the industry: smart phones that allow users access to e-mail or the Internet at an airport or on the train to work. More than one-third of all cell phones in the market today are smart phones, and a growing number of consumers use a broadband wireless service as their primary high-speed Internet on-ramp at home.
Our Broadband Wireless Sector Analysis Report is a crucial piece of business intelligence, exploring every segment of the industry. Broadband wireless providers are gaining ground in the increasingly competitive telecommunications marketplace - even expanding their service offerings, with 20% of providers offering wireless VoIP in the full range of market tiers, a trend that's likely to continue. What's more, from small local players to large national providers, the broadband wireless sector is undergoing consolidation, with existing carriers emerging larger than ever - half of the providers in our report have been involved in merger and acquisition activity in the past five years.
