The world’s busiest airports have tens of millions of passengers passing through in arrivals, departures and transit every year. Passengers expect a seamless and ubiquitous wireless experience at the airport and network designs must enable coverage and capacity to accommodate the high traffic conditions.
Education
Today in our digital age, education institutions are deploying connected classroom learning to bring digital media content into the classroom. Tablets and smart phones are augmenting and even replacing textbooks as a tool for teaching and learning. With digital media contents and connection to internet, people become more dependent on smart connected devices for better learning experience.
Government & Public Safety
Public safety first responders such as ambulance service, fire service, law enforcement, rescue squad, emergency management and securities are mission critical operations that help protect and rescue the general public from danger. Communication networks have to ensure that critical information is transmitted and received promptly to co-ordinate and facilitate rescue efforts.
Healthcare
Healthcare industry is experiencing ever increasing growth due to global population ageing, the rise of incidence of cancer diseases, outbreak of flus and many other chronic diseases. As the standards of living improved around the world, public and private hospitals or other healthcare institutions are investing a lot of money to improve their healthcare services and facilities.
Hospitality
Hospitality industry is a very broad industry as it consists of hotels, cruise ships, restaurants and anything that covers tourism or for leisure. In today’s high-tech world, mobile technology and social media act as the platform for businesses to promote their services and offerings for customers to make reservations through tablets and phone apps. Customers are also able to praise or critique their experience directly through social media. Hence the success of businesses is dependent on customer’s satisfaction and their praises for the services.
Retail
Retail industry today is experiencing a tremendous amount of changes as the way business is performed using push and pull marketing services through smart phones and devices. During shopping, people could search for a brand’s closest store in relation to where they are right now or a brand could send a discount voucher while people entering their store. People could easily locate where and what they want to buy. This could not be done without wireless mobile coverage.
