Got money? There are numerous marketing research companies selling
such data. Search Google for "wireless market research" and you'll
get a huge number of hits. For example (not a recommendation):

http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/frost-home.pag
http://www.instat.com
http://www.palowireless.com/marketresearch/
etc.

The hard part is seperating the cellular wireless from the Wi-Fi
wireless markets. There are also numbers released by various industry
trade organizations. The major manufactories also release numbers on
their quarterly stockholder reports, which are the major source of
information for the market reports.

What's a "controller based with thin clients)?

I think he ment the systems where the ap's are dumb and require a
central controller - some of them call this a wirless switch (i dont
have my notes with me and cant rember the names) anecdotaly from my
Cisco academy
course - talking to the guys oin it most use ap's with more inteigence
- the route Cisco takes.

Maybe. "thin client" is not an access point. It's a workstation of
some sorts that boots from the network. You're correct that a central
controller type of wireless system is called a "wireless switch".
Common vendors are Aruba, Symbol, Cisco, Entrasys, Xirrus, 3com, etc.
There are plenty of product reviews and comparisons available online.
I don't have any free marketing information on wireless switch
vendors. That will need to be scraped from their quarterly stock
reports.
