Research Shows That Mobile Phone Is The Hub Of SMB Communications - London, UK 26th June, 2008 -- RadioFrame Networks (RFN), the leader in small footprint, low cost wireless base stations today launched new, independent market research into how the SMB (small medium business) is using mobile communications and further strengthens the business case for indoor base stations, namely picocells and femtocells. The research was conducted by Quocirca, one of Europe’s leading business and technology analyst firms, across 240 SMBs in the UK, France, Germany and Sweden. The research reveals that: • More than a third of SMBs have problems using their mobile phones at work, and even more so when working from home, yet for many, the mobile phone is their first preference when making a call, even when at a desk with a fixed phone (in many smaller organizations, workers may not even have a fixed phone). • 3G is on its way, but not quite here – over half of all respondents have no plans to implement 3G phones, but 17% plan to introduce 3G laptops in the coming year, adding to the third that have already done so. The problem is not going to go away by itself ”The research shows that while interest in new kinds of mobile services is high, good quality voice services and at the right price is what really matters to SMBs today.
