BOSTON, USA: Communications market research firm Infonetics Research released the first quarter (1Q09) edition of its Wireless LAN and WiFi Mesh Equipment and Phones.
Matthias Machowinski, Directing Analyst, Enterprise Voice and Data, Infonetics Research, said: "Dependent wireless LAN access points were relatively immune to the wireless LAN equipment market plunge in the first quarter of 2009, driven by the move to centralized wireless LAN architectures.
"Another development is the growing proportion of 802.11n-based access points, which have a much higher average selling price and are keeping overall revenue per unit from eroding. Continued uptake of this next-generation technology should have a positive impact on the market during what is likely to be a difficult year in the wireless LAN space."
WLAN and WIFI mesh market highlights
* The worldwide wireless LAN equipment market, including access points, mesh network nodes, WLAN switches and controllers, and WiFi phones, continues to be impacted by the economic climate, sequentially dropping 18 percent to $438 million in 1Q09.
* On the wireless LAN equipment leaderboard (excluding WiFi phones), Cisco is unassailable with nearly half the worldwide market share, and Aruba and Motorola locked in a battle for second position (Aruba leads in 1Q09).
* Alcatel-Lucent and Trapeze were the only vendors with positive revenue growth in 1Q09.
