The U.S. corporate wireless communications market is expected triple over the next four years, driven by increased demand
among medium-sized businesses, according to a new study.
The domestic wireless market, including services and equipment, will be valued at $117 billion by 2002, according to Cahners In-Stat Group, a
technology market research firm.
Medium-sized businesses--companies with between 100 and 1,000 employees-- will account for $62 billion in sales within four years. Today,
the mid-sized corporate market is a $29 billion business.
"Technology always starts with the high margin sales in the enterprise," said Kneko Burney, an analyst at Cahners. "The next step is to move
into the middle market." |
