Private Line and Wavelength Services, 2011-2016
a market research report
|
|
Increasing demand for wireless backhaul and
converged solutions using VoIP and MPLS are driving the demand for local
private lines. The market for high speed point to point circuits is
expected to remain moderately positive over the next few years, even as
Ethernet takes an increasing share of the point-to-point market. This
study will also provide an update on the status of new copper
technologies and their deployment vis-à-vis the more traditional fiber
private line solutions.
Does the demand for ever-increasing amounts of bandwidth translate into
increasing revenue for private lines? Will the emergence of nationwide
4G wireless solutions alter the competitive landscape? This report
explores the question of how and when the new 4G infrastructures will
create a threat to traditional landline private lines.
A private line is a dedicated non-switched circuit or channel that is
leased for a specified period. This channel provides a private and
direct connection between at least two sites. Private Line & Wavelength
Services, 2011-2016 details revenue and circuit counts by carrier type,
and defines the split between wholesale and retail sales of T-carrier
(T1, T3) and OC-N circuits (OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, OC 192, OC-768), gigabit
Ethernet, and wavelength services. Insight’s annual study illustrates
how carriers and their customers continue to move to higher capacity
circuits in order to reap the benefits of lower cost-per-bit transport.

Report Excerpt
|
|
The telecommunications
industry has been through a turbulent decade in which it experienced over
capacity, price erosion, bankruptcies, consolidation, and new technical
innovations. Private line services have been buffeted by many of these same
forces and yet have emerged as a steady, stable, and viable business.
Private line was not immune to overcapacity issues and it has seen its share
of price erosion, but demand has been sufficient to out weigh those effects.
Each new innovation for the enterprise, small business, or consumer market
has introduced a need for more data. Some of these data are transported over
IP (Internet protocol) networks, but much of it winds up on private lines......
