REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 12, 2003

According to Dell'Oro Group, the Wireless LAN (WLAN)- 802.11 Market grew 9% sequentially, realizing revenues of $457 million in 3Q03. During the quarter, the worldwide market for Enterprise-class Access Points increased 25% to $121 M and comprised 26% of total market revenues. Cisco led the growth in this market, increasing their revenues by 44% sequentially.

"We may be at a turning point in the Enterprise market," commented Greg Collins, Director at Dell'Oro Group. "For the past three years, the SOHO market has driven much of the growth we have seen in the WLAN market, however, we are now beginning to see clear indications that the market for Enterprise-class wireless LAN equipment is poised to enter a new phase of growth," said Collins. The indicators for this change include: new technologies, such as 802.11g; new entrants, both established networking vendors and start-ups; and an increasing acceptance of WLAN in the Enterprise.

    How to Win at Office Politics

    Like it or not, every workplace is a political environment. But operating effectively within it doesn’t have to mean sucking up, lying, or slinging dirt. In its purest form, office politics is simply about getting from here to there: securing a promotion, seeing an idea come to fruition, or gaining support to make an organizational change. Playing the game well is about defending your position, earning respect, exchanging favors, and keeping your sanity amid the chaos. To get started, you need to know what you really want from work, then orient your political moves toward those goals. It all starts with strong relationships and helping others; those people in return make up the support system that helps you realize your goals. Here’s how it’s done.
