PON ONT Spending Jumps 15 Percent Y/Y
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – December 15, 2021– According to a newly published report by Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center IT industries, total global revenue for the Broadband Access equipment market increased to $3.9 B in 3Q 2021, up 7 percent year-over-year (Y/Y). Growth came from spending on both PON infrastructure and fixed wireless CPE.
