Abstract
This IDC study presents the findings of IDC' s annual Network Equipment Vertical
View Survey by 17 vertical industries and four company size segments. IDC
believes these segmentations are increasingly important toward identifying
opportunities in network equipment because of the nonuniform adoption trends of
wireless LANs (WLANs). The results of the survey strongly suggest that there
exist several key opportunities for WLAN deployments among specific vertical
industries and companies of particular sizes.
"Wireless in the enterprise is still far from ubiquitous. Some industries, such
as education, typically have large deployments, while others, such as
construction and utilities, have lower levels of full mobility. Providing
applications and technology offerings targeting these verticals will be crucial
to addressing their unique mobility and networking needs." - Dan Corsetti,
senior research analyst, Vertical Views
