A new class of hardware product that bonds together
multiple slower-speed copper circuits into a high-speed link promises to extend
the worldwide market penetration of carrier Ethernet services as well as lower
backhaul costs for wireless and DSL services, says a market analysis study from
Insight Research. On a worldwide
basis, carriers’ revenue from the three applications of the new copper bonding
technology will sharply increase over the next five years, ballooning from $146
million in 2008 to almost $1.7 billion in 2012.
According to Insight's
report,
Telecommunications and Bonded Copper: A Pair Bonding Solution For Carrier Ethernet, Wireless
Backhaul, and DSL Backhaul Worldwide,
the new copper bonding products presently offered by a half-dozen
companies represent an important means to extend the reach of Ethernet in the
First Mile and also lower the cost of backhauling cellular and DSL traffic to
backbone networks. While fiber optic links remain the preferred means to
deliver carrier Ethernet and backhaul cell towers and DSLAMs, when fiber can not
be economically justified, the new pair bonding technology fills a critical gap,
the report contends.
“Only 12-14 percent of US office buildings have
fiber connections, and many un-served buildings may never cost justify
installing fiber,” says Insight
president Robert Rosenberg. "Also, the steady increase in 3G wireless services
means cellular towers everywhere will have to backhaul increasing amounts of
data, even when a fiber investment may not be justified. In both examples, the
new bonded copper hardware products take up the slack," Rosenberg concluded.
Telecommunications and Bonded Copper: A Pair Bonding Solution For Carrier Ethernet, Wireless
Backhaul, and DSL Backhaul Worldwide evaluates the worldwide
market for bonded copper products in the US and worldwide. The study segments
the market into three principal applications: Ethernet data services, Cellular
backhaul, and DSL backhaul. Service estimates as well as bonded copper ports
sold are provided from 2007 until 2012.
