Wireless communication is an ever-developing field, and the future holds many possibilities. However, the Wireless LAN market is faced with a number of issues, from ensuring data security to maintaining interoperability for Ethernet-like functionality adapting to the ever-increasing performance demands of the mobile user.
To take advantage of the opportunities in this market, component manufacturers, equipment vendors, service providers, and financial institutions need to answer critical business questions including:
- How much is government spending lifting overall market sales?
- Which vertical industries are recovering faster than others?
- What is different about the Wi-Fi 6E (6GHz) products are coming to market?
- What changes are unfolding in cloud-managed Wi-Fi, and how are subscription prices changing?
- How is 5G and CBRS impacting Wi-Fi in the enterprise?
To answer these and other important questions, Dell’Oro Group delivers both quarterly reports and 5-year forecasts on the Wireless LAN market.
