The global wireless bridge market size was USD 1767 million in 2022, as per our research, the market is expected to reach USD 6646.64 million in 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 12.8% during the forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with wireless bridge market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden decline in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

A wireless bridge is a device that uses a wireless connection to join two distinct wired networks together. It is sometimes referred to as a network bridge or wireless Ethernet bridge. It effectively serves as a translator between two separate network protocols, enabling communication between devices on one network and those on the other. A wireless radio and a bridge function are typically the two major parts of a wireless bridge. While the bridge function handles the conversion of data between the wired and wireless networks, the wireless radio is in charge of sending and receiving wireless signals.

When installing physical network cables between two locations is inconvenient or not possible, wireless bridges are frequently employed. For instance, if laying Ethernet cables between two distinct buildings that need to be connected to the same network is challenging, a wireless bridge can be installed to create the connection wirelessly. A wireless bridge is normally set up by configuring one device as the "access point" or "base station" and the other as the "client" or "bridge." The client/bridge device connects wirelessly to the secondary network while the access point connects to the primary network using a connected Ethernet connection. The wireless bridge then passes network traffic between the two networks, enabling communication between devices on both networks.

COVID-19 Impact: Declined Economy due to Lockdowns to Hinder Market Growth

Public health is where COVID-19 has the biggest effect. Worldwide, the virus has caused millions of infections and fatalities, straining healthcare systems and posing a serious risk to human life. To slow the spread of the virus and safeguard the public's health, governments and health organizations have put in place a number of measures, including social exclusion, mask laws, lockdowns, and vaccine drives. The epidemic has significantly affected the world economy. Business closures (especially in industries like travel, hotel, and retail) and major employment losses have resulted from lockdown measures and limitations on commerce and travel. In order to aid those impacted by the crisis—including businesses and individuals—governments have put in place stimulus packages and economic relief measures.

LATEST TRENDS

"Increased Throughput for Bridging Networks to Augment Market Growth"

The newest wireless standard, Wi-Fi 6, provides faster speeds, increased capacity, and better performance in congested areas. Wi-Fi 6 wireless bridges offer improved connectivity and increased throughput for bridging networks. Mesh networking has becoming more common in wireless bridge configurations. Mesh networks, which have numerous interconnected wireless access points, enable seamless coverage and the elimination of dead spots. The range and dependability of wireless bridge connections are enhanced by this method. Multi-gigabit wireless bridges have appeared as a result of the rising demand for high-speed connectivity to offer greater data transfer speeds. To attain rates greater than that of Gigabit Ethernet, these bridges make use of 60 GHz Wi-Fi (802.11ad/day), Multi-Gigabit Ethernet, and other technologies.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Quick and Easy Installation to Attract Customers"

Network connections can be flexible thanks to wireless bridges since no physical cords are required. They are perfect in circumstances where laying cables is problematic or expensive since they make network connections simple to deploy and reconfigure. Mobility is another benefit of wireless bridges, since it permits devices to stay connected even when they move throughout the wireless network's coverage area. When dealing with obstructions like structures, highways, or water bodies, installing wired connections between two different places can be time-consuming and expensive. With no need for trenching, substantial cabling, or other infrastructure requirements, wireless bridges can be deployed more quickly and at a lower cost.

"Expansion of Networks through the Bridge to Propel Market Growth"

Scalability offered by wireless bridges makes it simple to create and expand networks. To increase network coverage or connect numerous remote locations, additional bridge units can be installed without requiring significant infrastructure changes or reconfiguration.

 Wireless bridges give users the option to get around obstacles that prevent wired connectivity. They can span gaps created by mountains, rivers, or other geographical barriers, enabling network connections across those barriers without the need for expensive infrastructure alterations. When a remote or temporary connection is needed, wireless bridges can be especially helpful. In temporary event setups, construction sites, disaster response scenarios, or remote locations where wired connections are impractical, they can be quickly and simply placed to create network connections.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"Limited Range to Impede Market Expansion"

Wireless bridges have a limited range, and physical obstructions like walls, buildings, or other wireless devices using the same frequency spectrum can impair the signal strength. The range and performance of wireless bridges can be decreased by signal interference and degradation. The connected devices in wireless networks split the available bandwidth. The available bandwidth per device may decrease as more devices join a wireless bridge, thereby affecting the network's performance and data transfer rates. Wireless networks are vulnerable to security concerns include network assaults, unauthorised access, and data interception. Although there are security precautions like encryption and authentication, it is essential to establish and manage strong security procedures to guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of wireless bridge communications.
