New survey reveals 5 key mobile trends in Social Housing & Local Government.  

A survey conducted by 1st Touch and partner Ryzex offers insights into the latest mobile device trends in the evolving UK Social Housing and Local Government markets.Surprising findings and five key trends were identified.

 

TREND 1: From the early adopters polled, 67% of the Local Government and Social Housing organizations surveyed have integrated rugged or semi-rugged mobile technology.

 

TREND 2: Early problems have been detected with the initial handheld units chosen, which were simply not rugged enough. A strong perception now exists that semi-rugged or rugged devices can mitigate problems that arise as a result of deploying inappropriate devices in rugged environments.

 

TREND 3: Choosing devices from a phone contractor due to an existing contract often resulted in handhelds that were inappropriate for the working environment. 

 

TREND 4: The majority of users have needed to replace failed, broken and discontinued devices between every 1 and 6 months.

 

TREND 5: 100% of second-generation users would consider upgrading to a more rugged device to maximise uptime.
