Sales of wireless LAN equipment jumped 19% last quarter, according to Infonetics Research.

SearchNetworking.com reports that bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies are driving that growth, because there are a lot more devices that organizations need to support on their networks. Networking professional Andrew vonNagy tells the site that wireless is becoming “the primary means of network access for a lot of employee workloads.”

This shift will likely drive organizations to redesign their wireless LAN infrastructures.
