Product Code: r97-369Description The enterprise wireless LAN market will grow rapidly from 2000 through 2004, and likewise the wireless LAN (WLAN) IC market will also grow. Over the forecast period, the market for wireless LAN IC components will grow to over 29 million IC components, a compound yearly rate of growth of 10%. Over this same period, the average annual rate of growth of wireless LAN Chip Sets (used in NICs, APs, Bridges, & embedded applications) will grow by 27% per year. The reason for the slower growth of the IC's compared with WLAN chip sets can be explained by the component consolidation that is taking place in the industry. In 1999, a typical wireless LAN device contained eight IC components, by 2003 that number will be down to two IC components. Wireless LAN devices are becoming more integrated and this is driving down the total cost of wireless LAN components and devices. Table of Contents
