Recent FCC Ruling Opens Door to Expanded Spectrum and Capacity Boosted by 3-4X of Standard Wi-Fi Leading to Growth Opportunities

PORTOLA VALLEY, Calif.  April 23, 2020 —  According to a new forecast report issued by 650 Group, revenues for the Wi-Fi 6E-based Enterprise + Outdoor Wireless LAN market will exceed $1B by 2025. Additionally, the consumer WLAN infrastructure Wi-Fi 6E market, which includes routers, consumer mesh, extenders and broadband CPE with WLAN, will also grow to well over $1B in 2025.  

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has now unanimously approved draft rules for the 6 Ghz Band, unleashing 1,200 Megahertz for unlicensed Use  of Wi-Fi 6E technology, giving it significantly more performance and a wider reach of applications.

“650 Group expects broad range demand as 6 GHz spectrum-based Wi-Fi 6E technology will take hold in the U.S. market,” said Chris DePuy, founding analyst for 650 Group. “Wi-Fi 6E technology addresses myriad pressing needs for enterprises, and consumers, including enabling critical communications, supporting Gigabit per second class throughput, and, most urgently, addressing the new realities that Wi-Fi communications are more critical than ever before in the post COVID-19 world.”

 2020 Market Forecast Reduced to Reflect Health Crisis

PORTOLA VALLEY, Calif.  April 2, 2020 —  According to a newly released report issued by 650 Group, revenues of the Enterprise Plus Outdoor Wireless LAN market declined 3%.  For the full year 2019, Enterprise Plus Outdoor Wireless LAN was flat, following very strong 2018 results.

“The WLAN market weakened on a year-over-year basis in the second calendar half of 2019, in part because of exceptionally strong growth in the second half of 2018, especially in the US market,” said Chris DePuy, Technology Analyst and Founder of 650 Group.  “As a result of the coronavirus lockdowns announced in March, we expect certain verticals like healthcare and use cases like remote working to experience increases in demand. However, we expect a re-thinking of the campus environment, and with reduced employment, we anticipate a net reduction in spending on Enterprise-class WLAN systems in 2020. We expect fast transitions toward cloud-managed WiFi and Wi-Fi 6E systems over the next year,” continued DePuy.

Cloud-managed Wireless LAN revenues associated with Enterprises experienced significant growth in 2019.  If Cloud-managed revenues are added to Enterprise Plus Outdoor Wireless LAN revenues, full-year revenues experienced modest growth.  Cloud-Managed Wireless LAN revenues are expected to grow in double-digits on a Y/Y basis for the next few years.  In 2019, vendors that took revenue share in the Enterprise Plus Outdoor Wireless LAN market included Cisco Systems, Extreme Networks, Huawei, and Juniper Networks.  The newly published includes analysis on other vendors, as well, including Adtran, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, Allied Telesis, Arista Networks, Cambium Networks, Commscope, DasanZhone, Edgecore, Engenius, Everest Networks, HPE Aruba, Lancom, Ruijie, Samsung, Sundray, and Ubiquiti.
