From full coverage Wi-Fi to growing Internet of Things (IoT) production applications, only those enterprises equipped with advanced wireless networks will be able to cope with the business demands the intelligent world brings.
To help enterprises determine where their network currently sits — and guide them through what to do next — IDC, sponsored by Huawei, surveyed over 500 enterprises around the world, to create a new campus network maturity model: the WLAN Maturity Index.
Key WLAN uses are office, IoT and OT, and industrial applications.
Only 24% of enterprises are very satisfied with their current wireless network.
Network maturity differs across industries. So next steps are not the same.
All industries are prioritizing Wi-Fi network security, coverage, and reliability.
IDC's WLAN Maturity Index gives insight into an enterprise's current wireless infrastructure.
Level 1
Ad Hoc
Lack of DX understanding
Level 2
Opportunistic
Fragmented DX strategy
Level 3
Repeatable
Enterprise-wide DX strategy
Level 4
Managed
Business-wide DX implementation
Level 5
Optimized
Full-scale DX execution
With network maturity levels differing across industries, each enterprise's needs and priorities are unique. Nonetheless, the end goal remains the same. Follow IDC's eight-step methodology to improve wireless maturity.
