Summary

The WLAN industry being one of the fastest growing segments in the global communications industry, it provides a ray of hope to the rather grim global economic situation. This report analyzes the changing technological trends of the wlan industry and the consumer penetration within the market. WLANs have gained wide acceptance, over the past decade, among various different market segments, especially in retail, manufacturing, warehousing, education, and healthcare. WLANs are replacing wired LANs in offices and factories in order to provide employees with un-tethered access to the corporate network.

Scope, the premier market research company, predicts that the WLAN market will become more dominant in the future and increase to around $4.8 billion in 2005 at a CAGR of over 34 percent. According to the Dell'Oro Group, the wireless lan market is predicted to grow constantly till 2006, but there will be a little decline in 2007. Moreover, the speedy growth of the Wireless LAN industry is drawing attention from systems integrators and wireless carriers.

This report analyzes the prospects for the continued deployment of public WLAN services in the US till 2007. It utilizes different market scenarios to provide forecasts for the next five years. The scenarios assess the extent to which adoption of 802.11X technologies and the deployment of location hot spots will affect the number of subscribers and scale of revenues for public WLAN services in the US.
