Cisco edges Huawei in indoor Wi‑Fi 7 revenue
Cisco has pulled ahead of Huawei in 2025 indoor Wi‑Fi 7 access point revenue, according to Dell’Oro Group. Research director Sian Morgan credits Cisco’s lead to aggressive pricing and faster-than-expected enterprise uptake, noting Wi‑Fi 7 is growing faster than any of the company’s previous WLAN generations. Indoor Wi‑Fi 7 AP revenue reached nearly $2 billion in 2025.
Dell’Oro expects double-digit WLAN revenue growth in 2026, driven by enterprise refresh cycles and wider use of cloud-managed networking. But it warns that AI-fuelled demand for DDR4 memory is tightening component supply, which could push up prices and extend delivery times for modern WLAN gear. Public cloud-managed WLAN outpaced the broader market in 2025, especially among large enterprises and service providers, with financial and professional services remaining the biggest spending sector.
