Three fact-finding events staged by Nimans and Samsung will bring resellers up to pace with the fast growing WLAN market at three venues across the UK (Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium, a hotel venue in Lanark and Samsung's UK HQ in Chertsey) where resellers will be urged to enter the £250m UK WLAN market, forecast to expand by 20% this year.
"WLAN is a natural evolution of voice and data communications with education, retail and hospitality huge areas to target," said Tom Maxwell, Head of Dealer Sales at Nimans.
He highlighted the importance of upgrading infrastructure to maintain peak performance and pointed out that 90% of worldwide tablet sales are now only Wi-Fi enabled, while 42% of all IP traffic goes through a wireless network.
He also emphasised how 45 million gigabit devices are being manufactured for the UK alone - such as tablets, smartphones, wearable tech and servers - which rely on stable and high capacity network connectivity.
Attendees received an on-boarding offer designed to minimise the cost and complexity of adding Samsung WLAN.
"The original events attracted huge attendances so to cater for increasing demand we're currently staging three more which are proving equally as popular, attracting well over 100 resellers," said Maxwell. "Samsung WLAN has really captured the imagination of our reseller base."
Stay and play demonstrations involved all of Nimans' system brands, along with an IP advanced radio system from ICOM.
Popular features among delegates included Samsung WLAN's ability to integrate into other PBX platforms and support voice.
