Mass adoption of 802.11n among specific vertical industries such as education and healthcare is expected to spur the enterprise wireless LAN (WLAN) market to approach $4 billion by 2013. "While we believe the education and healthcare vertical industries will remain leading adopters of wireless LAN technologies, we believe traditional office environments represent a larger market potential," said Ben Kwan, Analyst of Wireless LAN research at Dell'Oro Group. "Wireless LAN has been historically perceived in traditional office environments as just a basic data-access medium rather than a means to enhance operational efficiency. We believe the comparable speed of 802.11n to Fast Ethernet An earlier name for 100Mbps Ethernet. See 100Base-T. (networking) Fast Ethernet - A version of Ethernet developed in the 1990s(?) which can carry 100 Mbps compared with standard Ethernet's 10 Mbps. It requires upgraded network cards and hubs. is one of the key factors helping change the perception of WLAN from a complementary to a primary network service in these environments. We project an increasing demand for 802.11n WLAN equipment to come from traditional office environments as the economy recovers," added Kwan.
