| SMEs adopting UMDs |
| Friday Sep 26, 2008 filed under : Telecoms News |
Shipments of ultra-mobile devices (UMDs), which let users connect to the internet and utilise hosted business telecoms while on the go, will increase beyond 200 million units in 2013.
That is according to ABI Research, which forecasts phenomenal growth in a global UMD market that is expected to ship just ten million units this year.
The high-tech analyst predicted that UMDs - including ultra-mobile PCs, netbooks and mobile internet devices (MIDs) - will grow into a very significant part of the mobile market.
Constant access to VoIP services could increase demand for UMDs among small and medium-sized enterprises. ABI Research principal analyst Philip Solis estimated that UMD revenue would reach nearly £15 billion in 2013.
He elaborated: "As this market enters its rapid growth phase and starts to evolve, we will see considerable experimentation with different distribution channels.
"Some will sell direct from the manufacturer, some via retail outlets and some through mobile operators who will subsidise them to encourage new data plan subscriptions."
With demand for internet-enabled mobile devices growing exponentially, wireless analytics software company Carrier IQ warned recently that some mobile network operators could find themselves struggling to meet future bandwidth expectations.
