ABOUT THIS REPORT

At over 40 pages, NBI/Michael Sone Associates' Canadian In-Building Wireless Communications Systems Market Report, 2001 Edition is our first stand-alone report focusing on this market. While previously, the Business Wireless sector has been covered within NBI/Michael Sone Associates' Canadian Mobile/Wireless Communications Market Report, various developments within the industry now warrant a dedicated report.

While the previous report focused on un-licensed in-building systems, this report also delves into the expanding licensed in-building market and looks to the future of the converged Voice over IP (VoIP) applications.

There are qualitative and quantitative profiles of five equipment manufacturers that discuss issues such as product development & evolution, marketing strategies, distribution activities and future directions. In addition, there are analyses of the four major Canadian wireless service providers that are now using their expertise in the public wireless market to enter the enterprise or in-building market.

Although the in-building market has not yet "taken off" as many had expected, the trigger for future growth may now be in place. As such, the report will look at where VoIP is today and what the near- to medium-term may hold. NBI/Michael Sone Associates expects that VoIP will be the catalyst that could make in-building wireless systems a "need-to-have" versus a "nice-to-have" in the next two to five years in a model similar to the acceptance and proliferation of voice mail as the norm for business communications.

The information contained in the report is the product of extensive primary research. Principal sources include interviews with manufacturers and service providers.
