Product Code: r97-358Description The increasing mobility of today's lifestyle is largely due to the advent of wireless communications technology. From wireless handsets enabled by analog cellular, PCS, DECT and digital cellular, to local connectivity enabled by infrared and new technologies such as Bluetooth, the ability to transmit voice and data signals over wireless links has spurred an explosion of new devices to take advantage of this newfound freedom. The enterprise is no exception. Increasingly, enterprises are taking advantage of wireless technology to connect to the Local Area Network and, in the case of some progressive small businesses, the wireless LAN (WLAN) technology makes up the entire local network.
The Enterprise wireless LAN (WLAN) market will grow rapidly from 2000 through 2004, as enterprise MIS managers finally find the higher speeds, interoperability and lower prices that previously had been missing from this once niche market. The market will grow from $771 million in 1999 to nearly $2.2 billion in 2004, a 25% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the five-year forecast period. The enterprise WLAN equipment market is made up of NICs (both mobile and desktop), access points, and building to building bridges.
