 "Sustained Growth And Market Share Leadership For Ruckus Wireless: Reports")
According to a new WLAN report by Gartner, Ruckus Wireless has witnessed the highest growth of any enterprise wireless LAN (WLAN) supplier in the market for the second consecutive quarter with 95% growth in unit shipments over the same quarter last year.
Ruckus Wireless, the supplier of advanced wireless systems for the mobile Internetworking market, further garnered the top market share position in unit shipments of outdoor wireless mesh systems to service providers worldwide for the third straight quarter, according to a separate report published by the Dell’Oro Group.
“We’re in the midst of a global transformation as the mobile Internet opens up possibilities for communicating and sharing information in ways never before thought possible,” said Manjit Singh, Managing Director, Ruckus Wireless India & SAARC. “Whether you’re an enterprise dealing with iPads on your network or a carrier overloaded by Android traffic, these reports clearly validate the growing need for more robust Wi-Fi technology that can deliver high throughput despite an increasingly noisy and crowded Wi-Fi environment,” he added.
Singh noted that the mobile Internet phenomenon is having a profound impact on both enterprise and carrier networks that must support new devices that only communicate using wireless technology. With the barrage of data traffic hitting corporate and mobile networks from Wi-Fi enabled smartphones, tablets and other bandwidth-hungry devices, enterprises and carriers must contend with data volumes that rapidly exceeding network capacity and a crowded RF spectrum that is almost impossible to navigate.
According to industry analysts, data traffic has exploded in 2010 across both enterprise and carrier networks. Some so-called “superphones” routinely average more than 1 GB per month, and by the end of 2010, it’s expected that the average US consumption per smart device will be approximately 325 MB per month- up 112% from 2009.
