As we look ahead over the next few years, we see several big areas of impact for business apps and remote data solutions, one in particular is the exploding market for Smartphones -- which will experience double digit growth rates into the foreseeable future.
How explosive? By all accounts, revenues are forecasted to at least double over the next four years. Even conservative estimates are as high as 10 billion-plus Smart Devices across a range of platforms and networks by the year 2020. Gartner predicts that by 2014, 90% of organizations will support corporate applications on smartphones and by 2013, 80% of businesses will support a workforce using tablets.
We've been saying for some time now that advances in hardware and communication technologies will drive the price of cellular and satellite services downward. Product and service innovation has been heating up for some time. Nothing is driving this trend more than Smartphones, bringing both cellular and satellite services into range for most any businesses.
Smartphones are also fueling a surge in new applications to better manage businesses. Given that most people use Smartphones in their everyday personal lives, uptime to adopt new mobile business apps on these devices will be much faster.
As for the many of the devices coming to market, we are seeing substantial increases in data speed. And if cost was once a consideration with satellite, not only are prices coming down, but Skymira offers applications programmed to intuitively shift between cellular and satellite based on the situational needs of the organization.
With all these devices, networks, data and communication services, Skymira immediately understood that a unifying platform would be essential to tying non-similar devices and information together. Skymira's mobiGatewayTM is our approach to cross-platform, application, and location unification. Leveraging our mobiGatewayTM ensures that users will get consistent look, feel and functionality in the mobile apps and M2M services deployed across the enterprise.
Expect to hear much more from us on this game-changing opportunity for businesses of all types.
