“The appetite for the shiny new technology clearly has shifted en masse to Wi-Fi 6. Yet, supply constraints push out US-based manufacturers’ ability to ship for three to six months. 3Q 2021 wireless LAN access point shipments of Wi-Fi 6 were mixed with half the manufacturers reporting levels below 2Q 2021, when in normal times shipments of the new technology would be shooting up quarter-to-quarter,” said Tam Dell’Oro, Founder, CEO and Wireless LAN Analyst. “Huawei is taking advantage of this situation by launching a “Fast Track” two-week delivery promotion in Europe for Wi-Fi 6 and Ethernet switches. It will be interesting to see what level of share it might grab,” added Dell’Oro.
Additional highlights from the Wireless LAN 3Q 2021 Quarterly Report:
Sales to the Retail vertical industry exploded, propelling that vertical into the top three. Hospitality continued its rebound.
Average prices rise as manufacturers pass on higher freight fees, and Wi-Fi 6 gains share.
