Description

Frost & Sullivan's annual survey of IT and business decision-makers, now in its 16th year, aims to understand their perceptions, decisions, and purchasing behaviors. In 2024, Frost & Sullivan introduced a new set of questions focused on multi-access edge computing (MEC) to the yearly survey, and in 2025, it is possible to contrast results for 2024 and 2025. The survey aims to understand respondents’ evolving organizational priorities and the extent to which technologies help them achieve their business objectives.

The findings provide insights into mobile private network and MEC adoption, including the status of implementation, current and future infrastructure, challenges and needs, investment priorities, use cases, latency requirements, benefits by region, industry, and company size, as well as the choice of IT vendors and cloud providers for MEC hardware procurements.

According to respondents, AI has now surpassed the cloud as the most important aspect of digital transformation. As such, companies continue to build hybrid, multi-cloud, and distributed environments to support AI deployments that meet business goals, such as revenue growth, improved customer experience, and operational efficiency. MEC is a cornerstone of enabling Edge AI across industries such as manufacturing, mining, oil and gas, and ports and logistics.

The survey results offer enterprises, IT vendors, service providers, cloud providers, and telecom companies a glimpse into the future of the MEC market.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
