For businesses depending on the internet for contacting customers, providing remote access for employees to corporate systems, and accessing business applications, internet connectivity is essential. Having simple internet connection in an organisation is insufficient. Availability, quality, and speed of internet are affecting the productivity of organisations. For businesses requiring a permanent and reliable internet connection, a prominent solution has been introduced called as dedicated internet access. This is suitable for the organisations using internet for accessing business communication and mission critical applications.
Inclination of Bandwidth-Intensive Applications to Internet Will Fuel Market Growth in the Near Future
Future Market Insights (FMI), in its report, has delivered a detailed analysis on the global dedicated internet access market. FMI states that the demand for higher bandwidth is increasing which in turn is fuelling the demand for dedicated internet access. Some prominent factors such as increasing shifts of bandwidth-intensive applications to internet which fuels high-speed services market spending, soaring trends of BYOD, and utilisation of voice over internet protocol (VoIP), internet training, web conferencing, and video conferencing applications, are expected to drive the growth of the global dedicated internet access market in the near future. In contrast, factors such as absence of technical skills & awareness on dedicated internet access, and high costs are expected to restrain the market growth in the upcoming years, according to FMI’s report.
