Wi-Fi Hotspot Market Increases by 47 Percent
12th November , 2009
US : According to new research the Wi-Fi hotspot market is being regenerated with a recovery in interest from both consumers and business users. A new report features findings which forecast that Wi-Fi hotspot use will rise by forty seven percent in 2009, forecasting an upturn to over 1.2 billion connections globally.
The recent research from In-Stat confirmed :
- Asia-Pacific will experience the greatest growth in venue deployments over the next few years, largely driven by large-scale deployments in China.
- AT&T is on course to experience 500% usage growth for 2008 vs. 2009.
- Total worldwide hotspot venues will reach 245,000 locations in 2009.
- Survey results suggest that security concerns by individuals, not corporate users, are limiting hotspot usage.
Frank Dickson ( above ), In-Stat analyst said “A market that appeared to be languishing due to revenue shortcomings has found a renewed life force,” “Mobile operators have become increasingly involved in the hotspot market globally as they assess the potential of hotspots to offload wireless data traffic from overburdened 3G networks. Also, mass market adoption of Wi-Fi-enabled smartphones has significantly altered hotspot usage, with these devices accounting for the majority of access sessions in some locations.”
