Nearly a quarter of all access points are now 802.11ac, shows Infonetics WLAN market report Boston, MASSACHUSETTS, December 10, 2014-Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its 3rd quarter 2014 (3Q14) Wireless LAN Equipment and WiFi Phones report, which tracks enterprise access points, wireless LAN (WLAN) controllers, and WiFi phones. WLAN ANALYST NOTE "After a weak first half of the year, wireless LAN sales improved in 3Q14 thanks to higher demand from government and enterprise customers. Revenue growth is once again accelerating-and even outpacing-access point shipments, a sign that vendors were able to sustain pricing and shift the product mix to higher-priced equipment such as 802.11ac access points, which now account for almost a quarter of all shipments," notes Matthias Machowinski, directing analyst for enterprise networks and video at Infonetics Research. 3Q14 WLAN MARKET HIGHLIGHTS
