Internet bandwidth
demand, which continues growing at over 100 percent per year, will
eventually force carriers back into the arms of their fiber optic
equipment suppliers—and drive the worldwide fiber optic equipment
market from just under $30 billion this year to over $70 billion by
2006, says a new report by Insight
Research.
According
to Insight’s report DWDM,
SONET, and Photonics: The Emerging All-Optical Network 2001-2006, low-cost
dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems are essential
purchases for carriers trying to migrate their customers in
metropolitan areas from voice-centric to converged networks. Metropolitan and access networks around the world are straining
to keep up with bandwidth demand, so carriers will be turning to DWDM
equipment.
“Doom and gloom may pervade North American carrier-supplier discourse, but
we are just not buying it,” says Insight president Robert Rosenberg.
“The sheer number of people in Europe and Asia living in
urban environments where there is, as yet, no local fiber networks
will drive fiber optic growth for years. And as for a North American bandwidth glut, if there is one,
it’s a transitory phenomenon. The
real problem facing carriers is not an oversupply of capacity but
their inability to figure out a way to charge customers for anything
other than voice traffic,” Rosenberg says.
DWDM, SONET, and
Photonics: The Emerging All-Optical Network 2001-2006
forecasts bandwidth demand for North American and Rest of World (ROW) homes and
business as well as the worldwide fiber deployment by region and type
of network. Worldwide SONET/SDH and DWDM equipment unit sales and terminal prices are also
forecasted by metro versus long haul applications. Worldwide forecasts of subsystem revenue for transmitters,
receivers, passive components and amplifiers are also provided.
