Description

This IDC study examines the market conditions and the opportunity for enterprise-class wireless LAN equipment that complies with IEEE 802.11 standards for the years 2006-2010. This analysis covers worldwide enterprise client access devices, network access points, and related enterprise WLAN equipment. This analysis also includes market sizing and forecasts for independent and dependent enterprise-class access points as well as the switching and controller hardware designed to streamline the management and operation of an enterprise wireless LAN system.

"After recovering from the stall induced by Cisco's acquisition of Airespace and the resolution of questions about which architecture would prevail, the WLAN market is beginning to regain momentum. However, wireless in the enterprise is still far from ubiquitous, and the next couple of years will continue to be focused on expanding access to a greater share of the employee base while grappling with moving targets for performance and applications." - Jean Kaplan, research analyst, Enterprise Networking and WLAN
