In 2Q05, worldwide Wi-Fi revenue increased by 21% Year over Year (YoY), up from $613 million in 2Q04. Quarter over Quarter (QoQ) revenue was up by less than 1%.
Wi-Fi unit shipments showed a 17% gain from 2004, boosted by strong sales to business customers. Some established consumer product vendors are starting to see traction in the business segment with business-class, wireless product shipments. Shipments of business-class products represented close to 8% of D-Link’s WLAN product shipments in 2Q05. Outdoor, die-cast WLAN equipment and managed Access Points (APs) comprised the bulk of D-Link’s shipments to businesses.
