Optical Equipment Market to Grow Through 2010

Strongest Growth to Occur in the Near-Term Across All Optical Technologies

Redwood Shores, Calif. – January 24, 2006 - In a newly released report, Dell’Oro Group forecasts that the market for Optical Transport equipment will approach $11 billion by 2010. Dell’Oro Group further forecasts that the majority of this growth will occur by 2008 as service providers focus on projects that deliver video and higher-speed data to residential areas.

"The focus by service providers to offer increasing amounts of bandwidth to homes is having a material impact on the optical market," stated Jimmy Yu, Director for Optical Transport research at Dell’Oro Group. "It is one of the primary drivers for the optical market's expected 21 percent growth in 2005 and makes the shift towards 10-gigabit systems in the metro compelling beyond just price. 10-gig systems will be a requirement to support the anticipated bandwidth demanded by these residential services," Yu added.
