Abstract
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
