The solutions not only customize the services but also provide the best deals to the customers.
North America to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.
North America is expected to contribute to the largest share of the global Wi-Fi market during the forecast period. The region has been dominated by sustainable and well-established economies that strongly invest in R&D activities, thereby contributing to the development of innovative technologies. Moreover, the Wi-Fi ecosystem includes several contributors, such as wireless service providers, network engineers, internet service providers, managed Wi-Fi service providers, and telecommunication providers, who have partnered with the key market players in the region. Furthermore, the need to deploy hotspots has enhanced, due to the increase in the usage of smartphones and tablets, and growth in internet dependency among customers. North America, especially the US, has the highest percentage of employees using smart devices at work, thereby supporting the BYOD initiative.
Governments initiatives for smart city projects
Smart city models have stimulated tremendous development drivers for various technology vendors and the associated service providers. With increasing government initiatives and environmental campaigns taking center stage, technology providers and consultants have aggressively started simulating innovative solutions based on conceptual modules for urban infrastructure design and development. The successful implementation of smart city projects depends heavily on technologies: data communications, cloud, mobility, and sensors, which all together form IoT. The technologies lay the foundation for smart city projects. Fast developments in the technologies, in recent years, have enabled better connectivity of objects, resulting in the complete development of smarter ecosystems.
Security and privacy concerns to remain a major challenge for the Wi-Fi Market
Data privacy is one of the major concerns faced by several organizations. Due to the tremendous rise in data volumes, enterprises seek better security and privacy protection, which will protect the network and secure it from online threats, such as corporate surveillance, data breaches, and data espionage. With an increase in the number of systems, many security and privacy issues have come up, and every endpoint, gateway, sensor, and smartphone has become a potential target for hackers. Wi-Fi solutions and associated services, offer secure, reliable, and high-speed internet access. Any disruption to enterprise processes can have a significant effect on the entire business. As a result, several enterprises are reluctant to adopt Wi-Fi solutions and services.
