Mobility and Security: The Perfect Storm Ahead
Wi-Fi Chipset Fever: 140 Million and Growing
In-Dustry Update: Business Wi-Fi Trends

Wireless LAN (WLAN) deployments have become a standard part of business networks. According to In-Stat research, more than 70% of businesses in a recent survey currently use WLANs in their organizations. The impressive growth of wireless networking can be attributed to rapid price decreases and versatility. The volume forecasted for this segment confirms the continuing pervasiveness of devices with wireless capability.

However, for WLANs to successfully move beyond limited installations in the “carpeted” conference rooms and lobbies, businesses will need to employ a variety of security mechanisms to protect their operations and assets. Currently, businesses face the two key challenges with managing wireless in their organizations:

Use of inexpensive, consumer-grade WLAN products in the business premise
Proliferation of portable client devices that are wireless enabled

In-Stat has combined research from multiple practice areas to create a comprehensive report package on WLAN technology. A wide-ranging view of wireless technology is provided, from chip shipments to usage trends in business, to correlate important data for strategic decision making. The package consists of 2 In-Depth reports and an In-Dustry Update
