TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global Carrier Wi-Fi Equipment Market: Alcatel-Lucent SA, Aruba Networks Inc., Cisco Systems Inc., Ericsson A.B., Nokia Solutions and Networks Oy, and Ruckus Wireless Inc.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “The WBA’s seamless and secure cellular-to-Wi-Fi roaming initiative is likely to be launched commercially in early 2014. Conventional Wi-Fi vendors and telecom equipment manufacturers are both currently working toward providing seamless and secure cellular-Wi-Fi network roaming services to customers. To facilitate complete end-to-end communication and efficient subscriber management, the vendors need to have an optimum solution to integrate the functionality of both Wi-Fi and public network systems. Thus, it is expected that all the corners of the industry will work toward achieve smooth interoperability between these two types of networks during the forecast period.”
According to the report, there are several factors that drive the growth of the Global Carrier Wi-Fi Equipment market; one of them is the unrelenting demand for mobile data applications. The steady increase in data traffic caused by smart devices plays a major role in driving the demand for carrier Wi-Fi equipment. Moreover, nowadays, service providers across the globe are increasingly integrating carrier Wi-Fi equipment into their existing network infrastructure, and this is likely to have an impact on the market during the forecast period.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the interference among devices using the unlicensed Wi-Fi spectrum. The biggest advantage of Wi-Fi networks is that they work in the unlicensed spectrum, thus helping operators reduce costs.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry.
