Research and Markets: In recent years, Wi-Fi in China has enjoyed continuous growth both in industrial use and in the deployment of Wi-Fi City. Industrial Wi-Fi growth has been driven by the increasingly information-based nature of Chinese business, while consumers are attracted to Wi-Fi City because it is often free to access. In 2007, shipments of Wi-Fi APs for industrial use reached 532,300. At present, around 14,300 hotspots are deployed nationwide in China.
In 2008, Wi-Fi will experience robust growth in both home use and Wi-Fi City. Wi-Fi is becoming increasingly popular for home use as a result of delays in the awarding of 3G licenses, and the popularity of Wi-Fi City is being driven by service bundling, e.g., a package of services including xDSL, cellular, FTTx, fixed phone, etc.
Deployment of Wi-Fi City is currently being accelerated in order to meet increasing demand.

Business Wire: Recent decades have seen the widespread adoption of short-range
wireless communications, including wireless LANs (Wi-Fi),
ultra-wideband (UWB), and RFID. All of these can be used as part of
real-time location systems (RTLS). But according to a new Research
Brief from ABI Research, a preoccupation with the technologies alone
is misplaced: a more useful concept is "real-time intelligence
visualization" (RTIV), in which the technology becomes the means to an
end, not the end itself.
