The Campbell,
California-based Infonetics Research recently released a Carrier Wi-Fi
Equipment report. The annual report
tracks Wi-Fi equipment deployed by operators in public spaces for wireless
internet access. When you are trusted by
the largest communications equipment companies, service providers, chip makers
and Wall Street, almost anything you say be certain that people
listen-including GET, LLC.
Infonetics Research
says that over the five years from 2013 to 2017, operators will spend a
cumulative $8.5 billion on Carrier Wi-Fi equipment, led by mobile operators
using Carrier Wi-Fi for data offload.
“This strong growth
will gain additional impetus from the proliferation of small cells with integrated
Wi-Fi over the coming years," said Directing Analyst for Microwave and
Carrier Wi-Fi at Infonetics Research Richard Webb.
According to the
research, globally, revenue for Carrier Wi-Fi equipment, including wireless
access points and Wi-Fi hotspot controllers, totaled $338 million in the first
half of 2013. Carrier Wi-Fi revenue has already surpassed 2/3 of total revenue
for the prior year, says Infonetics. The majority of carrier Wi-Fi access
points are also Wi-Fi hotspots, notes the report.
The Infonetics report
noted that North America has consistently dominated Carrier Wi-Fi revenue share
since 2007. They expect that by 2017, a
regional share shift to Asia Pacific and EMEA is expected in this marketplace.
As the Carrier Wi-Fi market evolves and more operators launch Carrier Wi-Fi
services, Infonetics says fluctuations in vendors' market share, with the top 5
positions -- currently held by Cisco, Ericsson, Huawei, Ruckus, and
Alcatel-Lucent -- potentially shuffled.
Infonetics’ Carrier Wi-Fi
report provides worldwide and regional market size, market share, forecasts
through 2017, analysis, and trends for Wi-Fi hotspot controllers and Wi-Fi-only
and dual-mode cellular/Wi-Fi access points. The report includes carrier Wi-Fi
vendor announcements and customer wins. Vendors tracked include Airspan,
Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco, Aruba Networks, Edgewater Wireless, Ericsson (BelAir
Networks), Huawei, Motorola Solutions, NSN, Ruckus Wireless, and others.
