WLAN infrastructure market posts record $1.7 billion in Q3

REDWOOD CITY, USA: A recently published report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, revealed that in the third quarter of 2011, overall Wireless LAN (WLAN) revenues grew more than 20 percent over the same period last year, driven in large part by strong Enterprise WLAN growth of almost 40 percent. Of special note, the number of high-end WLAN devices used by service providers to deliver public service has increased over 100 percent versus last year.

"Service providers are motivated to differentiate service offerings to smartphone, tablet and notebook customers by expanding WiFi services," stated Chris DePuy, Analyst of Wireless LAN research at Dell'Oro Group.

"Service providers with cellular infrastructures benefit as WiFi usage expands because this reduces demand on their more licensed spectrum networks," added DePuy. Dell'Oro Group expanded its WLAN coverage to include market statistics on the WiFi Offload market. This new research covers both outdoor units as well as indoor Enterprise-class devices.

Cisco Systems remains the revenue market share leader in the Enterprise WLAN market, followed by Aruba Networks and Hewlett Packard. In the SOHO market, Netgear retains the number one revenue rank, followed by Cisco Systems and D-Link. In the Outdoor Mesh segment, BelAir Networks is number one by revenue, followed by Tropos Networks and Ruckus Networks.
