IEEE ratification is expected for late 2012. 　Note 2: 802.11a/g estimates include coordinated access points that support 802.11g only. These represent a small fraction of the overall unit shipments (e.g. 3.0% in 2010 and 3.2% in 2009). Source: Gartner (May 2011) 　 　 　 　 　 　 　　

Wireless Control Appliance Market Continuing Growth• Upon the growth of thin/unified AP, wireless control appliance rise dramatically with

CAGR 20.8%. WLAN Software License is Booming• The revenue of WLAN enhancement products is booming with CAGR 29.6%. The majority

in this category is software license, which revenue in 2011 is double than its forecast in the report last year shows the market toward “add-on” and “selectable” for wireless management product.
