Location Based Services 2007 - 2011

LBS promises tailor-made services to the customer based on the physical location of the customer. The services include current position, points of interest in a given location, tracking the locations of other people (based on authorization), and other as yet to be defined services. Wireless operators worldwide have long had built-in capabilities to locate a subscriber based on the cell serving the customer. The real push to LBS has come with the advent of IMS, which separates the services layer from the access technologies. In fact, IMS opened the door for new players with non-telecom backgrounds to enter the market. Vendors of GIS are now developing applications for the LBS market.

Mobile Workforce and Enterprise Applications 2007 - 2012

Enterprises are already experiencing the benefits of a mobile workforce, but what lies ahead? As enterprises expand their customer service, the next generation of wireless products and services must be able to support an expanded mobile workforce. Over the past decade, wireless networks, devices, and applications were developed to support the most basic enterprise applications, such as voice, email, ordering, and tracking. These developments were largely independent of the enterprise applications on the wireline side, which were expanding to support broadband access to Intranet and Internet applications. The next decade will witness the integration of wireline and wireless applications, enabled by new technologies such as IMS, 3G networks, smart phones, and WiMAX devices.

This report will provide a detailed analysis of the wireless technologies, application platforms, and workforce trends that will accompany this integration. Mobility convergence and IP convergence will be examined, along with fixed-mobile convergence, IMS, and content services. Insight will examine a number of vertical industries and markets that have provided early examples of these integrated applications. The research study will also provide forecasts of wireline and wireless service demand for these applications, as well as the demand by enterprise application and vertical industry.
