U.S. Education Vertical Telecom Services Markets: Educational Institutions Across The United States Opting For IP-based Networks.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c45766) has announced the addition of U.S. Education Vertical Telecom Services Markets to their offering. This Frost & Sullivan research service titled U.S. Education Vertical Communication Services Market provides an analysis of key market drivers, restraints, and trends that are impacting the education vertical spending on telecom services. In this research service, Frost & Sullivans expert analysts thoroughly examines wireline voice, wireline data, and wireless voice and data services across K-12 as well as higher education higher education Study beyond the level of secondary education. Institutions of higher education include not only colleges and universities but also professional schools in such fields as law, theology, medicine, business, music, and art. segments. Market Sector Expert Frost & Sullivan analysts thoroughly examine the following market sectors in this research: By Education Vertical: * K-12 education (Primary and secondary education) * Higher education (Universities, colleges, post-secondary) Technologies The following technologies are covered in this research: * Wireline Voice Services * Wireline Data Services * Wireless Voice and Data Services Market Overview Focus on Internetworking and Business Continuity Drives Telecom Spending in the Education Vertical Telecom Services Market: Educational institutions across the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. are opting for IP-based networks that offer a wide range of functionalities including reduced voice calling charges, faster moves, adds, and changes (MACs), distance learning capabilities through IP videoconferencing A real time video session between two or more users or between two or more locations. Although the first videoconferencing was done with traditional analog TV and satellites, inhouse room systems became popular in the early 1980s after Compression Labs pioneered digitized video systems , and IP video surveillance. Educational institutions are increasingly spending on internetworking solutions to take advantage of the cost benefits offered by sharing of resources among geographically distributed institutions, says the analyst of this research service. In addition, as school districts consolidate their networks, hosted IP telephony The two-way transmission of voice over a packet-switched IP network, which is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The terms "IP telephony" and "voice over IP" (VoIP) are synonymous. services are expected to gain tremendous momentum, especially in the K-12 segment. Increasing security concerns introduce new growth opportunities for disaster recovery/data backup and recovery solutions that limit network downtime The time during which a computer is not functioning due to hardware, operating system or application program failure. and ensure faster operational recovery. Emergency notification, carrier and geographic diversities, co-location, or remote location services See mobile positioning. are some of the areas that are expected to witness a surge in demand, especially in the higher education segment. Growing Need to Share Bandwidth-intensive Applications Drives Adoption of Fiber-optic Solutions The evolution of IP telephony and high-speed broadband services See broadband and broadband service provider. (wireless and wired) are changing the dynamics in the education vertical and compelling service providers to look beyond areas such as Internet usage for instruction/research, access to class information, e-mail, and training. The focus is slowly shifting toward areas such as wireless technology and network services that enable access to information without boundaries, explains the analyst. Specifically, access to real-time video applications - such as streaming video A one-way video transmission over a data network. It is widely used on the Web as well as company networks to play video clips and video broadcasts. Computers in home networks stream video to digital media hubs connected to a home theater. inside the classroom - underscores the need for high-speed networks. Fiber networks are gradually replacing traditional networks such as T1 links to meet the increasing bandwidth demand. Enhanced access speeds such as Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. provided by fiber-optic networks enable students to quickly download research material. Flexibility in bandwidth scalability, convergence of networks, familiarity of Ethernet protocols at the LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. level, and the cost benefits are expected to drive demand for fiber-optic solutions.
