Wireless LAN Switch Sales Drive Enterprise Growth in 2Q05, According to Dell'Oro Group; SOHO WLAN Market Up 24 Percent Year-Over-Year
Posted on: Tuesday, 16 August 2005, 12:00 CDT
A recently published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, reveals that the wireless LAN switch/server/appliance market grew 45 percent in 2Q05 to reach $59 million. This strong growth paced the overall enterprise wireless LAN market, which grew 17 percent to $228 million. Contributing to this revenue growth were dependent access point (AP) unit shipments which increased 77 percent, accounting for 20 percent of total enterprise AP unit shipments, up from 10 percent last year.
"The dependent AP plus switch/appliance architecture is the major growth component in the enterprise wireless LAN market, comprising 35 percent of total enterprise sales," commented Greg Collins, Senior Director of Wireless LAN Research at Dell'Oro Group. "Because dependent APs are controlled by a centralized switch/appliance, deployment, management, and security are easier for businesses, factors that contribute heavily to the stunning growth of this market segment."
Also according to the Dell'Oro Group report, SOHO wireless LAN equipment sales were flat in 2Q05 due to seasonality, but were up 24 percent versus 2Q04. Dell'Oro Group forecasts that this market will resume its sequential growth in 3Q05 as the back-to-school selling season hits its stride. 2Q05 Total Worldwide Wireless LAN Switch/Server/Appliance Market Leaders (Revenue) Total Market 1Q05 --------------------------------- -------------------------------- Manufacturers' Revenue $59 million Vendor Rank --------------------------------- -------------------------------- Symbol 1 Cisco 2 Aruba 3 Bluesocket 4
