Wi-Fi WLAN Equipment 2Q05 Results

According to In-Stat, revenue for wireless LAN equipment was flat in 2Q05 due to seasonality, but was up 17 percent year over year. Total worldwide Wi-Fi revenue for 2Q05 was $741.3 million, up from $613 million in 2Q04. Quarter over quarter revenue was up by less than 1 percent. The market is expected to continue its growth in 3Q05, propelled by back-to-school spending.

Wi-Fi unit shipments showed a 14 gain from 2004, boosted by strong sales to business customers. Some established consumer product vendors are starting to see traction in the business segment with business-class, wireless product shipments. Shipments of business-class products represented close to 8 percent of D-Link�s WLAN products shipments in 2Q05. Outdoor, die-cast WLAN equipment and managed Access Points (APs) comprised the bulk of D-Link�s shipments to business.

Semiconductor Economics Rewritten by AI Demand

Semiconductor forecasts rarely move enough to reshape an enterprise boardroom budget conversation. Omdia's latest worldwide market study findings does exactly that. The research firm has raised its 2026 global semiconductor revenue forecast to 94.1 percent year-over-year growth, an increase driven almost entirely by memory pricing tied to artificial intelligence infrastructure. For technology executives, the number itself matters less than what sits underneath it. Applied-AI demand has now outrun the industry's capacity to produce and package the chips it needs, and Omdia expects that imbalance to persist through early 2027. The Semiconductor Forecast Revision Memory integrated circuits, DRAM and NAND combined, are now projected to account for more than 50 percent of total semiconductor revenue in 2026. That threshold has rarely been crossed in the industry's history. It marks a structural shift in where chip economics get decided. Logic used to set the pace of the industr...
