The Wireless Lan market is expected to expand almost 40 percent over the next five years, to be worth $13 billion by 2019, according to analyst Dell’Oro Group.
As well as Wave 2 802.11ac access points driving the market, new 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps Ethernet interfaces on access points are expected to provide a fillip to sales, says Dell’Oro Group.
“We expect 2015 to be a pivotal year for the enterprise-class WLAN market with the introduction of higher speed 802.11ac Wave 2 systems,” said Chris DePuy, an analyst Dell’Oro Group.
“This will drive a need for greater Ethernet speeds, opening the door for an upgrade cycle to 2.5 and 5 Gbps Ethernet, which will drive a potential upgrade cycle for campus switching as well,” he said.
In response to the new technology trends emerging in 2015, the analyst’s Wireless LAN Five-Year Forecast Report contains predictions for both Wave 1 and Wave 2 802.11ac for enterprise-class devices.
