Top 10 Wireless Innovations in Asia Pacific - I


Description: Wireless Operators Focus on Offering Value-added Services Across Diverse Verticals
Mobile and broadband operators in the Asia Pacific region are focusing on offering value-added services in addition to traditional communication solutions. They are leveraging their infrastructure to enter industry verticals as diverse as banking, healthcare, and broadcasting, starting with basic applications. Venturing in this direction, NTT Docomo has developed the iD payment service with an intention to become a global participant for mobile payments, akin to Visa and Mastercard in the credit card industry. Another enterprise, Healthpia, has come out with a diabetes meter that can be plugged on to mobile phones to send data pertaining to the blood and glucose levels to the doctor.
This Frost & Sullivan research service, a monthly innovation tracker for Asia Pacific, provides an overview of and an outlook for the top ten wireless innovations in Asia Pacific. The top ten innovations considered are affordable phone video, secure data and device solution, peer-to-peer (p2p) technology for on-line gaming on cell phones, software-only location-based service, broadband connection from high-speed trains, powerful mobile operating system, zigbee-based 'digital smart-home' services, iD mobile phone credit-card, short distant radio (SDR) technology for CDMA, GSM, Wi-Fi and WiMax, as well as diabetes detection through mobile phones.
Participants Seek Convergence in Networks, Services, Applications, and Devices to Offer Superior Solutions
There is an increasing emphasis on ubiquitous wireless networks that facilitate free access and exchange of information irrespective of the time, place, as well as device type in a converged information and communication technology (ICT) environment, says the analyst of this research service. SK Telecom has developed software-defined radio solutions that allow a single device to support multiple wireless technologies such as GSM, CDMA, Wi-Fi, and WiMax. NEC Corporation has developed the BBRide System in Japan, which enables passengers in vehicles to access broadband from their laptops using any available wireless network in the region.

Emerging Low-cost Business Models Allow Service Providers to Expand the Market
Vendors and operators in the Asia Pacific wireless services area are focusing on developing feature-rich, value-added services at low costs to their subscribers, points out the analyst. Through these newer applications, the emphasis is on providing novel services at a price which can be afforded by the masses. A part of its initiatives in this direction, the Hong Kong University developed the audio video coding standard (AVS) compression technology through which MMS and video displays can be sent through 2G handsets without necessitating an upgrade to 3G technology.
Currently, Mobiance, an Indian startup company, has developed location-based services with fair accuracy that can be enabled on existing mobile networks by installing the necessary software, without the purchase of any hardware. SK Telecom, South Korea is conducting trails on the Zigbee technology that is set to efficiently and cost-effectively address the need for home automation services.

Benefits of this Service

Examines the Trends in the Emerging Markets of Asia Pacific
This research service intends to change the image of Asia Pacific from a low-cost producer to a hub of innovative applications. With South Korea and Japan as leading nations, Asian countries look upon telecommunications as an essential driver for growth.

Offers Comprehensive Information Pertaining to Wireless Services
By coming out with a focused theme on wireless, Frost & Sullivan has tried to cover most of the innovative ideas observed in this space. This research service acts as a reliable source of information concerning innovations in telecom sector.
Not Just Highlights Trends, but Lists Specific Innovations from Various Asian Vendors
This research service lists specific innovations from various Asia Pacific vendors, which are in the process of commercialization. The reader of this research service can engage these vendors and be part of the innovations taking place in the market.

Case Study Format of the Research Service Helps in Easier Understanding
Most of the innovations covered in this research service are currently in the deployment stage. This eliminates much risk for service providers or consumers that want to deploy or use these solutions by looking closely at the steps taken by other market participants.
Frost & Sullivan’s Expertise in Telecom Helps Readers to Evaluate the New Offerings
This research service goes much beyond merely reporting and describing new ideas. Frost & Sullivan has provided its views about these new concepts and the potential pitfalls and impact on the industry. Not every new idea in the wireless space is commercially viable, unless it creates value for the vendors, service providers, and consumers. By adding our opinion, we express our views on what the future wireless market is likely to look like.

Technologies

The following technologies are covered in this research:

- Peer-to-peer (P2P) Network: A type of network in which each workstation has equivalent capabilities and responsibilities. This differs from client/server architectures in which some computers are dedicated to serving others.
- Wi-Fi: A short form for ‘wireless fidelity’, it is a term for certain types of wireless local area network (WLAN) that use specifications in the 802.11. The Wi-Fi technology offers faster data transfer speeds and range, making it a strong competitor for Ethernet (802.3) systems.
- Session Initiation Protocol (SIP): SIP is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard protocol for initiating an interactive user session that involves multimedia elements such as video, voice, chat, gaming, and virtual reality. This is the most popular standard for multimedia on IP.
