2012: The Smartphone Era
The wireless industry is constantly evolving, driven by new and challenging demands. Wireless operators, manufacturers and retailers are seeking new growth opportunities – some by expanding into new markets, others by adding new services to their existing ones. Regardless of which option they choose, key players in the industry know they need to drive efficiencies in their supply chain or risk being left behind.
