US enterprises and consumers
are expected to spend more than $44 billion over the next five years on Ethernet
services provided by carriers, according to a new market research study from The
Insight Research Corporation. With metro-area and wide-area Ethernet services
readily available from virtually all major data service providers, the market is
expected to grow from $4.0 billion in 2011 to reach nearly $11.1 billion by
2016.
According to Insight Research’s
market analysis study,
“Carriers and
Ethernet Services: Public Ethernet in Metro & Wide Area Networks, 2011-2016,”
Ethernet's central driver continues to be its ability to meet seemingly
endlessly growing bandwidth demands at lower cost and with greater flexibility
than competing services. While the emergence of new high-bandwidth 40- and 100-
Gigabit/s services is proceeding slowly, due largely to high current equipment
prices, these will become increasingly important during the 2011-2016 forecast
period. Ethernet services are marketed under various names: transparent or
native LAN, Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, GigE, metro Ethernet, Ethernet private
line, Ethernet virtual private line, Layer 2 virtual private network, Ethernet
access, and virtual private LAN service.
“Wireless backhaul is the
fastest-growing sector within the Ethernet marketplace,” says Robert Rosenberg,
president of Insight Research. “Ethernet can provide the necessary backhaul at
lower unit costs and with greater flexibility than the older technology. The
market continues to be paced by voracious bandwidth demands from its
longstanding key verticals such as finance, schools, government and
healthcare—whose data transmission requirements continue to grow rapidly,”
Rosenberg concluded.
“Carriers and Ethernet
Services: Public Ethernet in Metro & Wide Area Networks, 2011-2016” examines
carrier Ethernet market spending and usage patterns by topology (E-line, E-LAN,
and access), regional domain (metro, wide-area, and access), retail/wholesale,
and various bandwidth levels.
