Study Challenges Wi-Fi Assumptions

Some common assumptions about the Wi-Fi industry in 2007 were myths, according to a new Wi-Fi equipment market database released by ABI Research. According to ABI, one such myth is that independent or 'fat' access points are now dead. However, they represented 34 percent of all access points shipped in 2007. A second myth is that enterprises are driving the equipment market, but 95 percent of access point shipments in 2007 were to consumers and small businesses.
