I enclose details of our latest Enterprise WiFi Report. This report provides a competitive analysis of major WLAN vendors, a discussion of market opportunities, and five-year forecasts for access points, switches, gateways, and controllers, all broken down by industry.
No longer confined to coffee shops and hotel lobbies, wireless LANs have liberated corporate networks from cat 5 cables. But their growth has not been uniform ? a nurse is more likely to have used Wi-Fi at work than the health insurer who bills her patients. Millions of college students can log in to an 802.11 access point, but millions of desk workers can only do it from home. And while doing work no longer means being at work, mobility applications are often obscured by the over-analysis of .a/.b/.g developments. Consider that: -If security has been so inadequate, why have so many health providers embraced WLANs? -Most clients in university Wi-Fi networks are laptops, while handhelds dominate in warehouses ? how will this impact future APs and switches? -Some universities have one AP for every 15 students, others have one per 100 students ? why such a large discrepancy? -If there are too many 802.11 companies, why do some startups have over 100 customers? -Education, Health Care, and Logistics have accounted for the majority of 802.11 revenue outside the home, but how far will their share of the Wi-Fi market drop? -Which will be more important for the future of WLANs ? meeting demand or stimulating it? Enterprise WiFi 2004 includes a competitive analysis of major WLAN vendors, a discussion of market opportunities, and five-year forecasts for access points, switches, gateways, and controllers, all broken down by industry. Our projections are free of academic formulas, and are based on segment-specific data such as student enrollment, hospital beds, and office square footage.
