Market Trends
Explosive growth in mobile computing. By 2020:
Wi-Fi traffic will exceed wired traffic by 21%(1)
Global mobile traffic will grow 10X(2)
More than 63% of enterprises expect their desktops to be replaced
by mobile devices connected via the office WLAN(2)
85% of enterprises expect to deploy employee-owned devices or
mixed-use policies, which could triple the mobile devices in the
workplace and on the WLAN(2)
