The Wireless AP or wireless access point (WAP) is a wireless networking device implanted over a computer system that combines a wired network and wireless compliant devices with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other wireless standards. The WAP is mainly attributed as a central transmitter or receiver for wireless radio signals and is additionally termed as a standalone device when connected with a router over a wired connection. The wireless access point also refers to a base station within a cellular network as it is capable to work as a base station and can circulate the network connection over a circular region. 

The Global Wireless AP Market is expected to grow with a magnificent CAGR during the forecast period 2021-2027. The increasing demand for public internet hotspots with large wireless coverage to allow better network connection throughout the premises is exploring the demand for WAP and is anticipated to drive the growth of the Global Wireless AP Market. The rising demand in the commercial sector for enhanced connectivity infrastructure fuels the demand for wireless access points and is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. 

Furthermore, the Global Wireless AP Market growth is driven by the sequentially growing adoption of Cloud-based computing among organizations and enterprises. The rapidly increasing cloud computing raises the demand for a wireless access point to enhance the productivity and network coverage to perform their function and thus, expected to account for various growth opportunities for the Global Wireless AP Market. The increasing emergence of smart cities or connected cities, rising digitization, urbanization, and growing need for Wi-Fi networks to manage networking protocol among the smart cities including- traffic management, water management, security management, infrastructure management, and access to education, all factors are expected to propel the demand for a wireless access point to get installed and adopted over a public place to access smart management function and is expected to accelerate the growth of the Global Wireless AP Market.
