"There are many exciting changes underway in the Wireless LAN industry now. We have a new generation of technology shipping, 802.11ac; a new customer group emerging, Service Providers; and new architectures being brought to market, cloud services and virtualized software," stated Chris DePuy, Analyst of Wireless LAN research at Dell'Oro Group. "In addition, enterprises now consider Wireless LAN infrastructure systems to be just as important as their wired Ethernet systems, which is driving a need for combined management systems for wired and wireless access at the edge of the enterprise," continued DePuy.
