The RF innovations, unprecedented upgrades in wireless speeds, wireless and wired interoperability, along with other overarching trends, are further contributing to the unswerving growth of the enterprise WLAN arena. On the enterprise front, organizations of all sizes have been increasingly shifting the wired network workloads to wireless. The overall diligence of WLAN is still commanded by verticals such as healthcare, and education. Although inching towards a flattened growth, the enterprise WLAN market still proffers prospects for intensification in areas such as large public venues, and retails, as well as back-office operation modernization. Several SMBs today are keen on embracing the superior enterprise-grade WLAN solutions and improving customer engagement. Array of services delivered over WLAN that build customer engagement, also include guest access--enabling customers to access data without cellular network and location-based services to engage customers in real-time, with loyalty programs that are location-specific.While planning to deploy a locally-controlled or a cloud-managed WLAN, is it essential to have an emphasis on understanding how to best manage the system. For instance, trouble-shooting enterprise-class WLANs can often be complex. Companies need to look at simplified solutions that are not only streamlined but also enable an easy configuration and a better trouble shooting interface, for an effective performance in large WLAN scenarios. Wired networking vendors are increasingly joining forces with pure-play WLAN vendors and offering state-of-the art solutions with multiparty R&D, varying management integration degrees, and channel alliances. Keeping these emerging trends in mind, we present to you a cluster of innovative wireless solution providers.
