Abstract
This study updates and provides further detail on the Western European WLAN equipment market, replacing Western European WLAN Equipment Update, 2007-2012 (IDC #I69P, November 2007). This document also breaks out the WLAN forecast by country.
The study presents the latest forecast from 2008 through 2013 for the Western European wireless LAN market. It is segmented into add-on WLAN clients (PCI, PC cards, USB, non-PC applications, and other NICs), and WLAN infrastructure (APs, building-to-building APs, wireless switches/controllers, and wireless routers/ gateways). Further segmentation is made into total revenue for home and enterprise equipment for the total Western European market.
"Sales for WLAN enterprise market will experience continuous growth rates over the next few years from 2008, although we must consider the impact of uncertainty in the economy. IDC projects the enterprise infrastructure market to grow at just slightly lower growth rates as experienced in 2007," said Evelien Wiggers, research manager, IDC European Enterprise Networking.
