Wi-Fi 7 models will drive new technology's adoption over next five years – Dell'Oro
WLAN market nosedive to show signs of recovery late 2024. #pressrelease
July 31, 2024
According to a recently published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, Wireless LAN (WLAN) revenues are expected to drop 13 percent in 2024, with lower prices exacerbating depressed demand. Meanwhile, vendors sensitive to eroding prices are cutting back on some functions of their Wi-Fi 7 APs, and this is expected to increase the adoption of the new technology over the next five years.
Additional highlights from the Wireless LAN 5-Year July 2024 Forecast Report:
AIOps features are driving up license revenues and delivering significant value to enterprises facing labor difficulties.
Wi-Fi 6E adoption is still growing but will be eclipsed by Wi-Fi 7 in 2025.
If the closing of HPE’s acquisition of Juniper Networks is delayed due to regulatory concerns, WLAN revenues could suffer as enterprises opt to wait before buying.
The first AP shipments of the standard expected to be branded as ‘Wi-Fi 8’ are expected in 2028 and will be focused on increasing reliability instead of expanding capacity.
