Worldwide 802.11 Market Exceeds $500 Million in 4Q03, Fueled by Strong Holiday Sales According to Dell`Oro Group Wednesday February 11, 10:30 am ET REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 11, 2004--According to a recently published report from Dell`Oro Group, the Wireless LAN - 802.11 market grew 10% sequentially, realizing revenues of $509 million in 4Q03. For the full-year 2003, the total WLAN market reached $1.8 B, an increase of 16% over 2002. "The growth during 4Q03 came primarily from the SOHO Infrastructure (Access Points-SOHO plus Broadband Gateways) or "SOHO" and NIC markets, which grew a combined 16% on a revenue basis compared with 3Q03," said Greg Collins, Senior Director, Dell`Oro Group. "The holiday season is typically very strong for the wireless LAN market and 2003 was no exception. Consumers are increasingly networking their home in order to share a broadband Internet connection among multiple computers. Moreover, consumers are beginning to network their gaming devices and consumer electronics in order to access both content and services on the Internet, and to share content across their home network." In contrast, after two quarters of approximately 20% sequential growth, the Enterprise WLAN market declined 8% in 4Q03. This decline is expected to be temporary, with the Enterprise market seeing a return to growth in 1Q04.
