Description
Advanced Solutions Ease End Users' Connectivity Concerns

As business and home computer users increasingly strive to connect to computer networks without the restraint of cables, demand for wireless local area network (WLAN) solutions will continue to rise. Direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technology will lead market growth by enabling portable computer users to access network information easily through local access points. WLANs will allow homes with multiple personal computers to share a single Internet connection and help mobile employees share data without a physical network.

This new Frost & Sullivan research analyzes the markets for both DSSS and frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technologies. It examines key drivers and restraints, and presents expert forecasts for each market and major product segment, including adapters, access points, and bridges. With such a comprehensive guide to the WLAN industry, your company will be poised to realize its full market potential.

New Product Poised to Dominate Marketplace

"802.11a, a new wireless technology, is expected to change the whole WLAN landscape due to its higher speed, better performance, improved reliability, and potential initial price parity," says the study's author. Current products already face competition from several network technologies, including Ethernet, HiperLAN 2, HomePNA, Bluetooth, and Powerline. "End users do not want to adopt a technology or standard only to find that it will be quickly replaced," says the author. Because 802.11a is faster and newer, consumers willing to commit to a standard might choose these products over current WLAN products. This study examines end-user preferences and evaluates the market potential for competing technologies, enabling you to better anticipate changes that could lay ahead.

Small office, Home Office (SOHO) Markets Offer Important Opportunities

"The SOHO and small-to-medium enterprise markets are growing rapidly for WLAN product manufacturers," says the author. Increased broadband Internet connectivity and the desire to share access across multiple personal computers is spurring demand.

While the number of SOHOs with multiple PCs continues to grow, many users are still unaware of WLAN technology. Market participants must sponsor end-user awareness programs, and reduce prices to capitalize on this important segment. This research, which pinpoints potential growth areas, can help your company maximize revenues.
