This IDC study forecasts the five-year revenue opportunity for metropolitan WDM equipment from 2005 to 2010. 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). The study identifies market share leaders in 2004 and 1H05 on a worldwide level. Issues addressed include:
What is the revenue opportunity for metro WDM from 2005 to 2010? Which metro WDM suppliers were the leaders in 1H05? Which vendors are best positioned for success moving forward? What is the outlook for the driving applications, including fiber relief, SAN extension, metro Ethernet services, and IPTV?
"Equipment vendors must align themselves closely with these trends in video. Vendors in the best position will be at the leading edge of development around IPTV and VOD and will be able to guide their service provider customers as they navigate these uncharted, and somewhat scary, new waters." Sterling Perrin, research manager, Optical Networks
