Report Description
the recent years, the WLAN landscape has witnessed a transition from 802.11n i.e.
conventional standards of WLAN deployment to 802.11ac and wave 2 802.11ac Wi-Fi
gigabit standards. Growing demand for high speed data network due to increase in the
data traffic and network capacity issues are fuelling the deployment of gigabit Wi-Fi
networks, in turn propelling the adoption of these high end access points. Proliferation in
the enterprise mobility services and adoption of advanced IT strategies such as cloud
computing and big data analytics, are compelling the IT sector to seek gigabit Wi-Fi
standards to support these data centric activities.
The market growth is further cemented by the proliferation of Bring Your Own Device
(BYOD), Bring Your Own PC (BYOPC) and Choose Your Own Device (CYOD). Furthermore,
introduction of the latest Wave 2 802.11ac standard and government initiatives
promoting provision of high speed Wi-Fi access in public places, is expected to boost the
demands for gigabit APs during the forecast period.
