Faster, Faster, Faster!! From 2G to 3G and now, 4G, the pace of accelerated bandwidth expansion within the Smartphone arena get’s the average user both excited and anxious. The excitement is based on the anticipation of applications, services and content which will continue to be made available to all users and exponentially expand the functionality of our mobile communication experience! The anxiety is…and will continue to be based on the users’ ability to access a truly “usable” and functional cellular signal within a building or campus, to accommodate all that will be available to the mobile user population very soon.
While the cellular carriers have had challenges recently to keep up with the user bandwidth demands, the issue of clear, ubiquitous, in-building cellular connectivity within a property has emerged as a key component of their ability to address these 4G content and services concerns. WIN’s Indoor Cellular Enhancements(ICE) Service Access Plan is designed to take any user anxiety out of this equation!

Analyst Angle: Smartphone owners – a ready and willing audience By: Danielle Nohe RCR Wireless News May 26 2010 - 6:00 am ET
Years ago, when smartphones were introduced to the market, they were promoted as devices to help the busy, on-the-go, business consumer. It was a tool primarily made available to access one’s e-mail, calendar and contacts when away from the desk or travelling. Today, that is far from the case.

The data shared here is from the survey fielded in January and February 2010, and focuses on consumer’s attitudes and behaviors around mobile marketing. Click here for full article
