Wireless LAN (WLAN) equipment that provides wireless access to a company network, and portable devices that are wirelessly enabled, require businesses to employ a variety of security mechanisms to protect their operations and assets.

This report examines the type and volume of wireless devices that In-Stat has forecasted for the business segment. Both WLAN client and equipment forecasts are included to quantify the continued proliferation of wireless in the business premises.

The report also reviews the technology and security standards that have influenced the market. Past, current, and planned standards are discussed, including IEEE 802.1i and the controversial WAPI standard from China. In addition, the report takes a look at the state of wireless security in business today by presenting the results of a recent end-user survey.

Finally, the report identifies two addressable markets for wireless security and provides a five-year forecast for each.
