Market Sizing and Competitive Assessment

This Research Brief is part of the Wi-Fi Research Service


The top 100 school districts represent 20% of the total US K-12 Wi-Fi market and represent a good place for vendors to focus their energies. This research brief sizes this very lucrative market and also forecasts how rapidly the ratio of students to PCs will decline as well as the percentage of K-12 students who are Wi-Fi-enabled. It also describes the major drivers behind growth in the sale of Wi-Fi equipment to K-12 schools, as well as the obstacles to even more rapid growth. Several vendors are focusing significant resources on this market, so this report provides a SWOT analysis of several leading players, Cisco, Aruba, and Trapeze.
