Connected Life User Experience

Today, more than ever, the network is a fundamental part of many our daily lives. Service providers want to deliver high-quality and highly available Connected Life experiences to subscribers everywhere. Consumers want use and enjoy their services and content anytime, anywhere, using any device they choose.

That's not always easy to achieve. What are service providers doing to bring new and profitable services to market? How are consumers responding to their offers?

New Research Methodology
The Cisco Connected Life User Experience (CLUE) is a global research initiative that measures the regional adoption rates of select advanced application/services across three user categories - at home (residential services), at work (business services) and on the move (mobile services). This effort provides a unique perspective on the advanced services that subscribers are using today.

Our research and background resources will help you better understand the innovative applications and services that service providers are delivering today. You also be able to quantify global and regional service adoption rates to see what's hot and what's still at a nascent stage with consumers.
