2016 Xirrus. All Rights Reserved. Analysing the data collected by mobiles and related sensor devices such as wearables unlocks many opportunities. E.g. using fitness band accelerometers to deduce actions such as smoking or drinking.By "algorithms" we mean more than just simple statistical analysis, e.g. learning etcExample of social / political issue is privacy, location tracking as part of BYO, EU investigating Qualcomm etc.Devices are all pretty much alike, square glass slabs, innovation focus has shifted outside the device, e.g. wearables, smart contact lenses, smart fabric, IOT, location tracking, beacons....Mobile increasingly one dimension of a customer journey, relationship , service

This list isn't complete, just a selection. Could add more, e.g. ANTBlue means not yet available, need legend to explain this
Market EvolutionAccess layer vendors, both wired and WLAN, do merge as they want to offer a complete enterprise access layer (wired and wireless components) to win market share and increase revenuCisco -> Meraki, HP -> Aruba, Extreme Networks-> Zebra, Brocade-> Ruckus, etc.Cloud is a how, not a what. Vendors must offer in-premise, private cloud and public cloud offeringsFocus on business outcomes:Maximize client experience by addressing management and latencyFocus on network service applicationsPolicy enforcement will address security and access control requirementsIoT object connectivity, security and management will be a weak spot for most enterprisesContext inputs (primitives) will shape the output of applicationsLocation will be one of the most important context inputs. Location will require multiple technologiesCampus edge SDN will be marketecture only for 5 yearsEnd Users want to have a + 5 Year lifecycle as a part of the ROI
