Senza Fili Consulting, Jan 2005, Pages: 85
'UMA and Beyond: Mobile Operators Benefit from Wi-Fi and Cellular Convergence” provides a comprehensive assessment of the UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access) technology and Wi-Fi and cellular convergence. This report from presents a clear, concise overview of the technology, and explores the market drivers that will lead to adoption. To help service providers and vendors size the opportunity, it includes a forecast of the market demand and revenue opportunity for UMA services.
'Mobile operators see Wi-Fi and cellular convergence as a cost-effective way to improve residential coverage, increase ARPU, and keep churn down.”
According to this report, Wi-Fi and cellular convergence subscribers are expected to reach 55 million by 2010. Mobile Operators are planning to deploy UMA services over the next 12 months, opening the door to Wi-Fi and cellular convergence. Mobile operators expected to launch service in 2006.
Topics covered
- UMA technology overview
- Standardization efforts
- Drivers to adoption in different geographic markets, with forecasts of user demand
- Services for the residential and enterprise market
- The opportunity for mobile operators
- The competitive threat to fixed operators and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service providers
- The role of handset manufacturers
Extensive forecasts (2006-2010)
- Worldwide demand for Wi-Fi and Cellular Convergence services
- Impact of Wi-Fi and Cellular Convergence on subscriber usage of fixed and cellular lines (including analysis of effect on MoU from home and away from home, on metered and unmetered calls)
- Revenues from Wi-Fi and Cellular Convergence services, including revenues gained by mobile operators (taking into account the effect of cannibalization), and revenues lost by fixed operators
All your key questions answered
