At the beginning of 2020, we expected a solid year for the WLAN market, driven by a still humming economy and a technology upgrade cycle to Wi-Fi 6. After the pandemic hit, we revised our forecast down steeply (double digit decline)—similar to prior economic declines. As the year progressed, however, WLAN proved resilient and 2020 revenue is on track to come slightly lower than 2019—a remarkable result of government stimulus coming primarily from the US, followed by China and select countries in EMEA such as Germany. For example, the US’ E-Rate program, which provides telecommunications funding for K-12 schools, was opened to a second round in September 2020 to allow schools to request additional funds for 2020-21 to address surging bandwidth demand stemming from remote learning. In China, the government’s Made in China 2025 initiative has provided incentives for manufacturers to modernize their processes.
