- Cisco's 3Q15 worldwide enterprise WLAN revenue grew 3.5% year over year, slightly ahead of the 2.8% increase Cisco saw in the second quarter but just below the overall market. Cisco's worldwide market share came in at 48.0% in 3Q15, down from the 48.3% seen in 3Q14, but up from 47.3% in 2Q15. IDC believes that the Meraki cloud-managed WLAN portfolio remains one of the primary growth drivers for Cisco.
- HP (combining HP and Aruba but excluding its OEM business) outperformed the overall market in 3Q15 and grew 11.8% year over year and 8.5% quarter over quarter. HP's market share stands at 17.4% in 3Q15, up from 17.1% in 2Q15 and 16.2% in 3Q14.
- Ruckus had another strong quarter in 3Q15, growing 16% year over year and 7.6% quarter over quarter. Ruckus currently accounts for 7.0% of the overall market, up from 6.3% in 3Q14.
- Aerohive rebounded in 3Q15 and grew 14.1% year over year and 13.2% quarter over quarter benefitting from its relatively strong position in the K-12 education vertical, which resulted in taking more than its fair share of the E-Rate spend in US.
