Overview
Wi-Fi technology is advancing beyond the usage model of providing indoor, short-range wireless Internet access for mobile computers. The extended range of Wi-Fi access points for indoor and outdoor applications has the capability of coverage across entire campuses, thus eliminating wiring infrastructures for other types of electronic equipment. Applications and demand for new services will drive Wi-Fi to bring voice, data and video into the space of various offerings. Wi-Fi is evolving from a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) application to a broadband wireless service with a great deal of opportunities on a global scale.
This publication is the second in a series of research from Mind Commerce that address the market place, the business drivers and the competition of the three major broadband wireless technologies with part one, Broadband Wireless:
WiMax Industry, covering WiMax, this report covering WiFi, and the final in the series covering 4G cellular.
