The recession has resulted in more businesses looking to improve their networks to ensure they are well-placed to beat the economic downturn, according to experts.
Matt Bennett, category manager for networking at Misco, said: "What we've seen is a high-demand for managed wireless switching, [and] managed access points, so there's certainly been a shift there."
This growth in the number of companies shifting their in-house networks to wireless technology could result in a significant increase in demand for people in networking careers who have the skills to help businesses make the most of their networks.
Speaking at the Misco Expo, Mr Bennett explained: "From a management perspective - having a building and having multiple PCs - the amount of cabling that's obviously required is quite time consuming."
A recent report by the Aberdeen Group found some organisations, on introducing more pervasive wireless networks, have had a 229 per cent growth in wireless network traffic.
