Gartner Magic Quadrant for Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure 2012-06

Gartner has published another "Magic Square" for investors. Full text here .

And here is the box itself:





I invite everyone to discuss the vendors in the comments I will note (on everyone) the approach of Gartner

• This year, Gartner did not publish separately Wired Enterprise LAN and Wireless Enterprise LAN, as before - as a result there is a shuffle on the vertical scale (Ability to Execute): a number of purely wireless vendors went down, a number of vendors with a strong wired part, but rather weak wireless went up . Vivid examples: Motorola's castling with HP, Cisco's breakaway by a set of indicators, the complete decline of Meru.
• Gartner squares have little to do with the technology platform - no less influential are such parameters as market prospects, channel health, marketing strategy, etc. So, this is more of a recommendation not for buyers, but for investors (I almost wrote infesters).
• Considering a square without reading the full report does not make sense , they even have a disclaimer about it. Please flame only after reading the relevant sections of the document.
