The importance of securing wireless networks
Tuesday, 04 May 2004, 19:45 GMT
The market for wireless networks is growing fast. But one thing hasn't changed: security is still a major concern for many IT directors. According to Datamonitor, it is the number one worry in relation to this technology and, although the situation has improved markedly over the past couple of years, security issues continue to act as a barrier to adoption. Nevertheless, the analyst believes that the market is still building rapidly. Last year, some 861,700 wireless access point devices were shipped worldwide, and this figure is expected to increase to 1.3 million by 2006, equating to a compound annual growth rate of 16 per cent.
If other equipment such as wireless Lan cards and switches are included, growth is more like 19 per cent, with the market valued at $724m (£408m) in 2003 and rising to $1.3bn (£0.73bn) in three years.
