BOONTON, N.J.-Pervasive networking is poised to take the concept of cellular mobility to the next level, according to a new report by Insight Research Corp.
Although carriers do not currently offer this type of continuous communication as a service, the parts are already in place, or will be soon, according to Insight’s report “Pervasive Networks: Mobility, Wireless and Wireline Connectivity for Residential and Enterprise Applications, 2005-2009.” Pervasive networks will allow continuous “on” connectivity via a variety of landline and wireless systems, said the report.
“This is a big concept to grasp, since it is the logical culmination of the last twenty years of innovations in communications technology,” said Robert Rosenberg, president of Insight Research. “But what is at stake are some $95 billion that will be spent over the next five years mobilizing enterprise applications and some $32 billion that will be spent by residential consumers on wireless data for information and entertainment services.”
