Infonetics: Wireless LAN Gear, Star of the Networking Industry, Tops
$1 Billion Per Quarter
Market research firm Infonetics Research [2] released excerpts from its 3rd quarter 2012 (3Q12) Wireless LAN Equipment and WiFi Phones [3] market size, market share, and forecast report, which tracks access points, wireless LAN (WLAN [4]) controllers, and WiFi [5] phones for the enterprise.
ANALYST NOTE
“Coming on the heels of a 16% jump the previous quarter, WLAN equipment revenue grew another 6% quarter-over-quarter, passing the $1-billion mark for the first time,” notes Matthias Machowinski [6], directing analyst for enterprise networks and video at Infonetics Research [7]. “The usual demand drivers—wireless devices, BYOD [8], mobility—were in play, but there was also an acceleration of carrier WiFi deployments, with sales of outdoor access points doubling over the past year.”
Machowinski [9] adds: “Wireless LAN is a real bright spot in the networking industry, achieving record sales despite ongoing economic uncertainty.”
