企業の固定とモバイルの統合(FMC)とは、デスクトップアプリケーションのモバイル化や、ネットワーク、デバイス、アプリケーションの統合などの意味がある。この調査レポートの分析の定義は、セルラーやWi-Fiの接続ポイントによって、固定線ブロードバンドネットワークに接続する音声とデータサービスである。数年前に、Wi-Fi FMCを採用した企業は、屋内無線カバレッジを活用して、従来の設備を利用して、セルラーサービスコストを安くすることができた。現在は、セルラーサービスコストは安くなり、セルラーDASシステムの採用によって、Wi-Fi FMCのメリットは少なくなっている。ピコセルやフェムトセルを使ったFMCが企業市場に登場し、特にSOHOや小規模企業を目標としている。しかし、Wi-Fi FMCは、セルラー/Wi-Fiのデュアルモード機能搭載のスマートフォンの成長によって、後押しされている。スマートフォン市場において、セルラー/Wi-Fiのデュアルモード機能搭載のスマートフォンは2014年には9割以上を占めるだろう。この調査レポートは、様々な規模の商業ビルのSOHO、小規模企業、中規模企業、大規模企業のソリューションの価値に注目して、Wi-FiとセルラーFMCの技術を分析している。

Enterprise fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) can mean mobilizing desktop applications or the convergence of networks, devices and applications. The definition which determined the analysis in this report was voice and data services access using cellular and Wi-Fi access points connected to fixed line broadband networks. Enterprises which adopted Wi-Fi FMC several years ago enjoyed the benefits of in-building wireless coverage, lowered cellular services costs, and leverage of existing assets. Presently, lower cellular services costs and the deployment of cellular DAS systems are mitigating the benefits of Wi-Fi FMC. Cellular FMC using picocells and femtocells is new to the enterprise market and will target primarily SOHO and small businesses. But Wi-Fi FMC is getting a boost from growth of dual-mode cellular/Wi-Fi smartphones. These devices will have 90% of the smartphone market by 2014.

This study presents analysis of both Wi-Fi and cellular FMC technologies focusing on the value of these solutions to SOHO, small, medium and large size businesses in commercial buildings of different sizes.

Enterprise FMC Will Grow at a CAGR of 27%, Reaching Over 27 Million by 2014

NEW YORK - August 3, 2009
In a new study from ABI Research, FMC (Fixed-Mobile Convergence) handset voice connections for business customers are forecast to rise from 6.3 million in 2009 to more than 27 million by 2014. FMC voice connections include Wi-Fi FMC connections as well as cellular FMC connections using picocells and femtocells.

However, its not just femtocells that are driving up enterprise FMC connections. Says practice director Dan Shey, “While femtocells have been all the rage, dual-mode cellular/Wi-Fi phones will also increase enterprise FMC voice access.”

Indeed, Wi-Fi in smartphones will grow from a 45% attach rate in 2009 to a 90% attach rate in 2014. Business customers are the primary adopters of smartphones and with increased penetration of Wi-Fi smartphones, this change levels the playing field between cellular and Wi-Fi FMC. Previously, the knock against FMC solutions particularly for VoWi-Fi was the lack of Wi-Fi phones.

Another variable affecting the business FMC landscape is business customers accessing the web, watching videos and connecting to social networking sites for personal reasons. FMC solutions and smartphones provide IT managers with ways to manage these kinds of connections.

The wildcards for enterprise FMC are downloadable VoIP applications from companies such as Skype and Truphone. Says Shey, “Downloadable apps that offer VoIP connections over Wi-Fi or on unlimited cellular data plans may not be enterprise-grade for now. But their availability will change how we view VoIP on cell phones, leading to some interesting opportunities and challenges for the mobile supply chain.”

ABI Research’s Enterprise Fixed Mobile Convergence study reviews the drivers and inhibitors as well as the mobile supply chain developments affecting the customer growth of both cellular and Wi-Fi FMC solutions. Analysis reviews solutions based on factors of cost, coverage, capacity, connectivity, control, convenience, and security. The report discusses ways in which FMC supplier participants are addressing these needs as well as how upcoming technologies of IMS, RCS, and VCC will change these conditions. Regional forecasts are provided for FMC subscribers by industry vertical, size of business and by building size.

The report is included in ABI Research’s Services: Business Mobility Research Service.
