A survey commissioned by GSMA on the penetration of mobile broadband within organisations based in Europe, Asia Pacific and the US has revealed its growing popularity. The study collected data from about 1000 companies of different sizes across these continents. Analysis of the data indicated a clear trend towards mobile connectivity emerging among organisations lately.

Coming in the midst of negative opinions about developments in mobile broadband, the study provides a fillip to service providers. However, the results also showed a definite concentration of mobile technology among the top brass of companies rather than the employees in the lower echelon.

GSMA stated that corporate budget allocations for the coming year for mobile technology are heartening. It claimed that nearly a double of this year’s allocated funds would be available for enhancements in existing systems, as companies appear to have realised the immense potential of mobile broadband for increased productivity and are providing work tools to employees on the move (click for info on contract laptops). The increased funds will also set the stage for more optimal use of Wi-Fi and other similar mobile connectivity tools.

So far, it has seemed that senior level management are enjoying the benefits of mobile connectivity. However, of late there also seems to be some inclusion of lower level employees, especially those involved in sales. This comes with the awareness that denying access to tools that enable working while on the move bring down the productivity, particularly for sales personnel, given that their jobs involve moving around a lot. On the other hand, tying employees down to a desk with a fixed line connection will severely restrict their ability to canvass new business.
