This IDC study forecasts the five-year revenue opportunity for metro Ethernet (ME) equipment from 2006 to 2010 within the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ region. IDC breaks down ME equipment revenue into major equipment segments, including Layer 2 and 3 switches, routers, SONET/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) multiservice provisioning platforms (MSPPs), and metro wave-division multiplexing (MWDM). The study identifies market share leaders for 2005 for the ME equipment market in APEJ as a whole and for each of the four individual equipment segments. Issues addressed include the following:
What is the APEJ revenue opportunity for ME equipment from 2006 to 2010- Which vendors lead in each of the four individual equipment segments, and which vendors lead the APEJ ME equipment market as a whole? How are the major country markets within APEJ expected to fare in the market over the next five years? What types of architectures are carriers adopting, and how do these architectures vary by geographic region?
"Carriers in APEJ are rapidly implementing carrier-grade Ethernet solutions to support a range of residential, enterprise, and wholesale applications," says Matt Walker, contributing analyst, Carrier Network Equipment, IDC Asia/Pacific. "The total APEJ ME equipment market reached US$359 million in 2005, up 79% from 2004, and we expect the market to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.2% from 2005 to 2010, reaching a size of US$1.2 billion by 2010. This growth makes the ME equipment market one of the largest and most dynamic opportunities in APEJ's wireline sector over the next five years," he adds.
