Those needs, moreover, are quite unlike those of consumer wireless voice and data users. For example, companies generally standardize on device types and operating systems so as to minimize the total cost of deploying and owning the mobile devices. Mobile workers also use their mobile devices differently – for example, they typically consume more data than consumer subscribers. The rise of 3G mobile broadband has also sparked the increasing adoption of external data cards and modems. With all of this data traffic, mobile workers also have a heightened need for security and IT managers need solutions which permit them to manage thousands of mobile devices at once.

iGR's Enterprise Wireless and Mobile Service (EWM) examines the “what, why and how” driving large businesses’ implementations of wireless and mobile applications. The reports and briefs delivered by the service focus on the ongoing, and forecasted, usage of wireless devices, networks and applications by mobile workers, companies’ business partners, vendors and customers, as well as the challenges faced and the benefits gained from those implementations.
