WASHINGTON – Brian Toohey, president and CEO of the Semiconductor Industry Association, released the following statement today in support of H.R. 6012, legislation introduced this week by Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon (R-CA), Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) and Rep. William Keating (D-MA) to stop the flow of counterfeit semiconductor chips into the US:
SAN JOSE – North America-based manufacturers of semiconductor equipment posted $1.61 billion in orders worldwide in May (three-month average), up 0.6% sequentially, and down 0.7% year-over-year, says SEMI.
OYSTER BAY, NY – Global revenue for carrier Wi-Fi access points and controllers will reach $2.2 billion in 2017, eight times its current size, says ABI Research.
This level is equivalent to almost one-half of the traditional enterprise or consumer/SoHo Wi-Fi segments in the same period.
The majority of the total market in 2011 was accounted for by Cisco, Ruckus Wireless, and Ericsson/BelAir.
As traditional mobile infrastructure vendors add Wi-Fi to their portfolios, these early market share rankings will fluctuate, says the firm.
Carrier Wi-Fi is defined as Wi-Fi that is provided as a service to mobile carrier customers, owned and operated directly or indirectly by the carrier, e.g. a third party hotspot provider.
