The WiFi as a Service Market is expected to escalate at a CAGR of 18.2% from USD$4.9 billion in 2022 to USD$26.0 billion through 2032, according to a new report from Future Market Insights.

In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, the WaaS has been expanding globally. In most nations, it has become more and more popular to work from home since the global shutdown, which has resulted in an increase in demand for high-speed wireless fidelity services. Increased demand has fuelled the growth of the wireless fidelity market and contributed greatly to the growth of the industry's revenue.

The major IT companies also develop and offer advanced applications and services, such as Cisco Systems Inc., Aruba Networks, and Juniper Networks Inc. The Portable Branch Kit, for instance, is an Extreme Networks solution introduced in March 2020. A quick and secure connection can be established to temporary remote office sites through the solution. COVID-19 is a pandemic that is affecting the entire world, and the company is focused on helping its client base around the globe.

As a result of the easy management of wireless infrastructure over cloud services, WaaS is experiencing rapid growth. Managed over the cloud, WaaS allows enterprises to operate wireless networks from anywhere.

Network administrators can remotely manage WiFi infrastructure issues using cloud-based centralised management, saving both time and money by performing the work from a remote location. Commercial applications have long made use of dial-up access. Thanks to advancements in technology, even residential customers can now have reasonably priced high-speed Internet access.
