REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center IT industries, reveals that the Enterprise Edge market, which consists of Enterprise-class Wireless LAN and Campus Ethernet switches, is expected to exceed $17 billion by 2019.

"In the past year, an entirely new Ethernet market has emerged to serve the growing bandwidth demands of the campus environment. Multi-Gigabit Ethernet, which includes 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps speeds, solves an upcoming dilemma for enterprises that have already built a wiring infrastructure between switches and their WLAN infrastructure, and who don't want to replace the cables but want to increase throughput to support emerging 802.11ac Wave 2 WLAN systems," said Chris DePuy, Vice President of Enterprise Edge research at Dell'Oro Group. "Our analysis shows that, yes, these Multi-Gigabit switches cost more than traditional 1 Gbps switches, but they also allow re-use of existing cabling infrastructure, which for many enterprises, is a significant savings."

In this report, forecasts by port and revenue are available for Multi-Gigabit switches, as well as for all Campus Ethernet switch speeds from <1 Gbps to 100 Gbps.
