Business Mobility Market Data

The Business Mobility Database has two sections. In the first section, an expanded view of the data in the research report, “Mobile Business Applications and Services” is presented. Data in this section includes regional and global views of business customer usage of mobile applications and services in seven different categories: voice, data, real-time communications, messaging communications, information access, computing, computing/information access and business process solutions. Usage in each of these categories is demonstrated by number of customers, revenues and ARPU’s. The regional views are for North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Africa/Middle East.

In the second section, business customer usage is segmented by industry vertical, occupation and business size. This data is forthcoming and initially will be provided for North America.

North American Business Mobility Vertical Market Analysis

Market data contained in the following tables segments mobile communications services by North American industry vertical, occupation and size of business. Mobile communication services fall into six categories: real-time communications; messaging, information access, computing, computing and information access, and business process solutions.

The data set is provided at two levels of segmentation. In the first level, mobile communications services are segmented into three categories: United States Private/Public Sector, Self-Employed and Military, and Canada. In the second level, the United States Private/Public sector data is further segmented by vertical, occupation and size of business.

RFID Reader Market Sizing

This database provides industry aggregated unit shipment data for RFID Reader shipments from 1Q 2005 through 1Q 2006, by quarter. Where relevant and possible, industry shipments are segmented by form factor. Please note that not all segments underwent significant shipment volumes in 2005 or 1Q 2006, and therefore were not broken out separately. Also, in the interests of vendor confidentiality, aggregated industry shipments were not provided in instances where fewer than three vendors shipped products within the segment in question. It is hoped that as the market develops and more vendors enter more market segments, shipments in these segments can be shown.
