Dell’Oro: Wireless LAN Market to Expand 49% in 5 Years
Overall Wireless LAN market revenues are forecast to exceed $11 billion in 2017, nearly 50 percent greater than 2012 revenues,according to a newly released market forecast report by Dell’Oro Group.
Key drivers include deployment of Service Provider WiFi (SP WiFi), the 802.11ac upgrade cycle, cloud-managed WLAN, consumer video over WiFi, and the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend.
“Today’s enterprise applications are now built for mobile devices, enabling workers to be nomadic. The emphasis on mobile devices places new demands on the corporate wireless infrastructure. It also forces companies to maintain connections to employees while they traverse to cellular networks, and drives the need to apply consistent access rules for both Ethernet and wireless access systems,” said Chris DePuy, Vice President at Dell’Oro Group.

You just read about Dell. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Compellent built Virtualized storage arrays with automated tiering, thin provisioning and replication. What became of it?
Compellent brought Virtualized storage arrays with automated tiering, thin provisioning and replication to Storage. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Dell for US$960M. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Dell today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about Wi-Fi. Here is what it replaced:
HomePNA (phoneline) served 1998–2010. What ultimately replaced it?
HomePNA (phoneline) networked PCs over existing in-home telephone wiring by using frequencies above the voice band, avoiding new cabling. Its job passed to Wi-Fi — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
