Worldwide sales of wireless mesh equipment are on pace to grow by more than 100 percent in 2006, and cumulative revenues for the sector will approach the $1 billion mark by the end of 2008, according to new research from Heavy Reading. "The wireless mesh equipment market is set for robust growth over the next two years," notes Patrick Donegan, senior analyst at Heavy Reading. "While the focus of attention until now has been on the planned municipal government buildouts in the U.S., the market opportunity will increasingly shift to developed and developing markets in the rest of the world, and to the carriers and enterprises carrying out those deployments."
