Wireless LAN Controller Market Outlook - 2026

Wireless LAN is a local area network easily accessed by mobile or PC users through a wireless connection in terms of radio wave signals. Wireless LAN controller makes use of lightweight access point protocol (LWAPP) to control points used in accessing, in large quantities by the network administrator. It handles the configuration of wireless access-points automatically. It offers more benefits than conventional controller such as configure, manage, support corporate wireless networks whether large, medium, or small as well as moving from standalone access point to centralized controller-based design.

As companies of any size wanted a centralized control over networking elements owing to flexibility, it simplifies work and gives optimum performance. Moreover, these systems integrate security. By using cloud WLANs, systems can gain control on routers, switches, firewalls, gateways, and other device. Also, it provides a network choice to accommodate devices according to their requirements. For instance, Arubas cloud WIFI solution helps organizations by giving 10 times faster speed of WIFI connection than any other WIFI solutions.

Wireless LAN controller market size is expected to experience high growth during the forecast period (2019-2026), owing to surge in demand for reliable wireless infrastructure among various companies. As enterprises are getting higher in their respective businesses, they need an efficient wireless network that can support a wide range of network resources & applications. This is expected to increase the demand for the devices that are integrated with connectivity and security IoT devices. Thus, rise in usage of such devices is anticipated to increase the demand for WLAN controllers. The acceptance of IoT across the enterprise is expected to also increase the need to deploy more controllers, which can simplify the network management and improve efficiency.

Factors such as increase in adoption of smart devices, rise in number of data-intensive applications used in these smart devices, and surge in demand of data usage across various sectors such as homes, restaurants, and others, are the major drivers for the wireless LAN controllers market. However, high cost acts as a major restraint, which can hinder the Wireless LAN controller market growth. Furthermore, increase in improvement in network security, wireless networking solutions, such as LAN controllers, is anticipated to further help in managing a larger network, which provides lucrative opportunities to the wireless LAN Controller market.
