WLAN Predictions from Analysts

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.
