ICON is the UK leader in voice mobility wireless
infrastructure solutions (VoWLAN), wireless handsets and specialist IP-PBX
solutions and in 2012 it consolidated this position by extending its portfolio
to include Wi-Fi infrastructure from the technology leader Extricom.
The brands it now distributes include the SpectraLink, KIRK,
Extricom VoWLAN solutions, and the specialist IP_PBX solutions Wave IP from
Vertical Communications and FortiVoice from Fortinet.Hot products and applications
Hot for 2013 will be WLAN solutions for voice and other
triple play applications such as available from vendors SpectraLink and
Extricom.
Growth in BYOD is fuelling an explosion of
demand for 4th generation Wi-Fi infrastructure which can handle high
bandwidth voice, video, and data applications and at the same time support a
secure and robust BYOD policy. Mark Shane, Sales Director for ICON commented,
“With its unique channel Blanket technology we expect the Extricom solution to win increasing penetration as a result of its ability to deliver a wide coverage area, guaranteed bandwidth with easy deployment in Triple Play and VoWLAN environments.”
Market Trends
In 2013 the biggest driver in the market is expected to be the
increasing use of BYOD in the enterprise and public space. People are increasing expecting organisations
and venues to provide Wi-Fi access and in educational establishments the development
of IT teaching based on tablets is fuelling demand for robust Wi-Fi
infrastructure. These BYOD’s are stretching
the capability of traditional Wi-Fi infrastructure especially in situations
such as schools and stadiums where simultaneous logons en-masse can cripple a
network. Mark commented,
“Since partnering with Extricom we have seen a number of enquiries from our channel partners for WLAN solutions in large public spaces and I am confident that we will see a growing demand for 4th generation VoWLAN solutions throughout 2013 and into 2014 as institutions and public places look for and deploy high bandwidth VoWLAN and BYOD access Wi-Fi networks.”
