What's Next for Mobile Internet

What’s Next for the Mobile Internet: Multi-media Devices Fueled by Broadband

The digital lifestyle may first have been defined by bulky laptops at Wi-Fi hotspots, but with the growth of the metro-scale Wi-Fi, what’s happening now is all about digitally savvy users communicating via an increasingly vast array of mobile multi-media devices and services.

Metro-scale mesh networks lay the foundation for the Mobile Internet. Products and applications that are driving the revolutionary changes in the Mobile Internet are fueling today’s emerging digital lifestyle. Four such applications include:

>> Mobile TV - television and digital radio service for mobile and broadband enabled devices.
>> Comprehensive Wi-Fi Accessibility – Long range and consistent connectivity to metro mesh networks available via new TMCX compliant MetroFlex Wi-Fi modems.
>> New Electronics - Wi-Fi enabled personal communicator devices supporting broadband anywhere access.
>> Cellular Phones – Dual mode cellular-Wi-Fi handsets as well as Wi-Fi only handsets.

The newest trends in the Mobile Internet will be displayed at the International Consumer Electronics Show on January 8–11.
