Abstract
This IDC study provides Western European WLAN equipment shipment and revenue
data for 2007 and comparisons with 2006. Shipment and revenue shares are
provided for network interface cards (NICs) and infrastructure by country and
vendor for 2007. Shipment and revenue data for embedded solutions is not
included in this study. Only IEEE 802.11 related products are covered in IDC' s
definition of WLAN.
A geographical split is included for Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the U.K.
"While 802.11n will make WLAN a viable technology for enterprise use,
uncertainty around Draft versions of 802.11n could also negatively impact WiFi
equipment sales in the enterprise. Vendors should continue to stress onsite
planning and architecture and how to deploy and manage the network carefully,"
said Evelien Wiggers, research manager, European Enterprise Networks IDC.
