This IDC study forecasts the five-year revenue opportunity for metropolitan WDM equipment from 2004 to 2008. IDC breaks down metropolitan WDM equipment by major interface type, including SONET/SDH, Ethernet, and SAN, as well as by geographic region, including North America, Europe, Asia/Pacific, and the rest of the world (ROW). In addition, IDC forecasts total metropolitan WDM channels that will be shipped from 2004 to 2008. The study identifies market share leaders in 2003 on a worldwide level. Issues addressed include:
What is the revenue opportunity for metro WDM from 2004 to 2008?
Which metro WDM suppliers were the leaders in 2003?
Which vendors are best positioned for success moving forward?
What is the outlook for the driving applications, including fiber relief, SAN extension, and metro Ethernet services?
"SAN extension and metro Ethernet are the two must-haves for vendors, in terms of interfaces. This is where the growth in metro WDM will occur, and vendors well positioned in both of these applications will be best positioned for overall market leadership." ? Sterling Perrin, senior research analyst, Optical Networks
