Consumer 802.11n Wi-Fi access point shipments to exceed 32 million in 2010, says ABI Research
Shipments of 802.11n WLAN access point shipments into SOHO and consumer markets are expected to reach 32.2 million in 2010, according to ABI Research industry analyst Serene Fong.
In the SOHO and consumer market, a total of 7.7 million 802.11n Wi-Fi access points were shipped in the first three quarters of 2009, representing a large increase: shipments during all of 2008 were just 7.8 million. In the first three quarters, 802.11n represented more than 19% of all WLAN access point shipments.
Over 400,000 thousand enterprise access points were shipped in the first three quarters of 2009. and enterprise 802.11n access point shipments reached half a million by the end of the year, noted ABI Research
In 2009, 802.11n WLAN access point shipments increased by nearly 44% over the previous year. There was particularly strong demand for enterprise WLAN 802.11n-based access points.
Cisco is the leading vendor in 802.11n enterprise access points with a market share of 63%; Aruba owns the second-largest share with 25%. Enterprise 802.11n access point shipments are expected to total 6.3 million in 2012, according to ABI.
Third-quarter 2009 was good for the enterprise WLAN market. Growth was especially driven by sales of 802.11n products. In the first three quarters of 2009, 78,000 enterprise controllers were shipped. Cisco claimed 66% of the enterprise controller market. ABI Research said it expects enterprise controller shipments to reach 140,000 in 2010.
According to research associate Khin Sandi Lynn, "Vendors are trying to gain market share by providing products which offer more reliable coverage and consistent performance as well as lower prices. For example, Aruba has launched an 802.11n access point priced the same as their 802.11g model. Price competition will attract more organizations that have not yet moved to 802.11n."
