802.11Planet
reports
on what analysts are saying about WLANs in the next few years. Some
snippets:

WLAN product sales for businesses are up, as high as 175%, and will
continue to grow another 60% in 2002. Revenues will only increase 7%
this year as the price on 802.11-based equipment, even the newer 802.11a
products, continues to plummet. Cisco’s domination of the business WLAN
hardware market is shifting somewhat as Linksys, Agere, and Buffalo
Technologies top the total units shipped and 802.11a/b combo NICs will
be the driving force for network adapters going forward.
