      CeBIT Panel: Critical Wireless Apps Slowed By Maturity, Standardization Issues

      Wireless networks and technologies have to become considerably more standardized and reliable before the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) even considers porting mission-critical or time-sensitive applications to mobile platforms. The maturity problem has been exacerbated by the economic problems encountered by the telecommunications industry, leading to an underinvestment in research and development for next-generation wireless technologies, said Martin P. Colburn, chief technology officer and executive vice president at NASD in Rockville, Md., which regulates the Nasdaq Stock Market. Those issues havent stopped Schneider National from pioneering wireless technologies for its trucking and logistics businesses. The $2.8 billion transportation firm was ahead of the curve in 1988 when it implemented a two-way, geostationary satellite communications system to track its fleet of tractors, which now number 15,000, said Paul R. Mueller, vice president of technology services at the company. Colburn and Mueller were two of three panelists who discussed challenges surrounding business adoption of wireless systems at the CeBIT America 2003 conference last week.

      IDC: Wi-Fi Hype Contrasts with Reality

      Despite the rapid growth in both the number of Wi-Fi locations and the number of users worldwide, the hotspot market is still in the very early stages of development. According to a new study from IDC, these early growth figures, achieved from a very low baseline, represent little more than the creation of a hotspot infrastructure. Over the next five years, IDC expects the hotspot market to evolve through two distinct phases –- two years of massive network footprint expansion followed by three years of intense relationship building among carriers, network operators, and service providers.
