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.
