“WLAN Switch”…Or Just “Switch”?: Business WLAN Market Analysis
In-Stat/MDR, March 2005, Pages: 40
The enterprise WLAN equipment is undergoing a trend toward centralized management of 'thin APs' that feature less MAC-layer intelligence than traditional 'smart APs' and are controlled by specialized appliances known as 'WLAN switches' and 'WLAN controllers.' However, the overlay WLAN switch vendors, such as Symbol, Aruba, and Trapeze, who pioneered the WLAN switch market are facing a severe challenge from the integration of wireless management functionality into standard Ethernet wired switches.
This report examines the overall enterprise WLAN equipment market, with a special focus on the market for WLAN switches. Unit shipment and revenue market shares are provided for enterprise APs, external enterprise WLAN NICs and WLAN switches. Five-year forecasts, from 2004 – 2009, are provided for enterprise APs, external and internal WLAN NICs, and WLAN switches. Finally, brief vendor profiles are given.
This report will be particularly useful to product managers in WLAN enterprise equipment vendor companies, financial analysts covering the WLAN enterprise equipment market, and consultants advising clients in the WLAN enterprise equipment market.
