Interop Las-Vegas 2007, a leading international business technology
event that took place on 4th week of May '07, reflected the expected
growth of WLAN users (as stated by RNCOS report) through the growing
confidence of WLAN vendors who came to attend the event in full
strength. This has also demonstrated how an industry apparently moving
ahead for commoditization is mature enough for solution providers'
profit.
During the event various vendors from devoted ones like Bluesocket,
Aruba to big ones like Trapeze Networks, Netgear, and Nortel Networks
launched new wireless LAN wares.
Further, startups, comprising of Ruckus Wireless, and Aerohive
Networks, together with new entrants like Adtran also joined them. As
per Infonetics Research, all the vendors are enthusiastic and want to
secure their place in the wireless LAN equipment market that had hit
around US$ 2.6 Billion globally in 2006, up 18% from 2005."Our customers
are all asking for [wireless]; our engineers that weren't that
interested in it now have a lot of interest in it. I thought that it was
scorched earth, but now you can actually make money selling wireless
with services and ongoing support," said, Tom Gobeille, Network
Computing Architects, President in a statement published by EE TIMES on
May 22, 2007.
Growing desire of consumers for solutions which facilitate them to
work from far off places is the key driver behind the push in wireless
LAN technology, adds Tom. Another driver behind thi s spurt in wireless
LAN usage is the upcoming high-speed wireless standard 802.11n.
