Wireless LAN Controller Market- The Increasing Number Of Data-Intensive Applications Used In These Smart Devices


Recently, there have been many attempts to manage the wireless LANs (WLANs) through a Software Defamed Networking (SDN) controller. Previous WLAN management systems manage the wireless access points (WAPs) using dedicated controllers. However, these systems cause the vendor-dependency. They enforce to use controllers and APs from same or third-party vendors. Therefore, the SDN-based WLAN management systems are released to support vendor neutrality. Wireless networking continues to be a growth area, fuelled by device proliferation and a desire to be connected anytime, anywhere using any device. Independent analyst’s point to more Controller based solutions being sold over standalone AP deployments, as IT departments deal with an increase in wireless management challenges that are best served with a centralized management platform.



A wireless LAN controller is used in combining access point protocols to manage access points in large through network administrators or network operations centers. The WLAN controller automatically handles the configuration of wireless access points. Driving factors for the WLAN controller market is the increasing number of smart devices, such as mobile phones and tablets, the increasing number of data-intensive applications used in these smart devices and the observed pattern of maximum data usage by the end users when they are stationary such as, in homes, restaurants and workplace. The typical range of a common 802.11g network with standard equipment is on the order of tens of meters. While sufficient for a typical home, it will be insufficient in a larger structure. To obtain additional range, repeaters or additional access points will have to be purchased. Costs for these items can add up quickly that may hamper wireless LAN controller market.
