place on 4th week of May ’07, reflected the expected growth of WLAN users (as
stated by RNCOS report) through the growing confidence of WLAN vendors who came to

providers’ profit.

vendors are enthusiastic and want to secure their place in the wireless LAN
equipment market that had hit around US$ 2.6 Billion globally in 2006, up 18% from
2005.\"Our customers are all asking for [wireless]; our engineers that weren\'t that
interested in it now have a lot of interest in it. I thought that it was scorched
earth, but now you can actually make money selling wireless with services and
ongoing support,\" said, Tom Gobeille, Network Computing Architects, President in a
statement published by EE TIMES on May 22, 2007.

Growing desire of consumers for solutions which facilitate them to work from far off
places is the key driver behind the push in wireless LAN technology, adds Tom.

wireless standard 802.11n.
