Six out of ten conference rooms in Latin America currently provide Wi-Fi access, according to a new report.
A study conducted by TNS International Agency has suggested that more than 90 per cent of Latin American businesses in total will have Wi-Fi within the next year.
Roughly 62 per cent of offices across Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico currently have part of their workplace covered by Wi-Fi.
Just under a quarter of office owners shared plans to increase their Wi-Fi infrastructure in the next year, whilst five per cent said they were planning new instalments.
According to telecompaper.com, Wi-Fi was found to be less likely to be present in retail environments. Just 53 per cent of retailers questioned in the study have Wi-Fi currently deployed, although 33 per cent were planning expansions and four per cent said they would implement new connections.
Teletime.com.br reports that the supply sector would be installing the most new Wi-Fi hotspots. Eight per cent of respondents working in this sector shared plans to do so in the next year.
The stats were released just days after Cisco Latin America’s senior director of engineering, Mauricio Carrillo, suggested that governments in these countries had begun to understand the importance of mobile broadband.
