Description

This IDC study contains a combination of survey results and IDC estimates based on multiple surveys conducted over the course of 2004. This study presents IDC's high-level snapshot into enterprise adoption of wireless LANs, also known as WiFi or 802.11 networks.

"The wireless enterprise is not a common occurrence. However, U.S. companies are testing and deploying WLAN networks in droves. Interest remains high across all verticals, but most deployments remain limited to fewer than 30% of the employee base. Whether or not the applications driving WLAN business cases are strong enough to warrant complete enterprise coverage and client deployments is the billion dollar question for WLAN technologies." ? Abner Germanow, research manager, Enterprise Networking
