Worldwide Wi-Fi voice over IP (VoIP) handset revenue totalled $54.7 million in 2004 and the number of units shipped reached 143,000, according to a new report from Infonetics Research. It also predicts strong growth at least through to 2009 as steady adoption of voice over Wi-Fi continues. Infonetics has found that worldwide dual-mode Wi-Fi/cellular handset revenue hit $6.7 million in 2004, adding that Wi-Fi capability will eventually become a common feature in mobile phones, just as it is becoming standard in laptops today. Although Wi-Fi VoIP handsets represent a small market at present, it has great potential. In logistics and healthcare verticals in particular, voice over wireless local area networks is already gaining momentum and is likely to become widespread throughout the enterprise as VoIP and wireless LAN adoption continue. The Infonetics report suggests that there is potential for enormous growth in the consumer space, as VoIP services and wireless gateways are bundled with a broadband connection. It says that more dual-mode Wi-Fi/cellular handsets will reach the market, enabling enterprise users to roam across 3G networks, home networks, corporate wireless LANs, and Wi-Fi hotspots.
Organizations that were experimenting with Applied-AI in isolated pilot programs just two years ago are now embedding it into core workflows, customer-facing products, and business-critical infrastructure. But as technology matures, a troubling pattern is emerging: speed of deployment is consistently outpacing the security discipline required to protect it. A new Gartner market study exposes the risk that many technology leaders have instinctively sensed but struggled to quantify. GenAI Security Market Development By 2028, 25 percent of all enterprise generative AI (GenAI) applications will experience at least five minor security incidents per year, that's up from just 9 percent in 2025. That represents nearly a threefold increase in less than three years, and the trend does not stop there. Gartner further projects that by 2029, 15 percent of all enterprise GenAI apps will experience at least one major security incident per year, compared to only 3 percent in 2025. Meanwhile, the d...
