Next-Generation Optical Networking Systems for Worldwide Markets

The explosion of the Internet has resulted in demand for solutions that can handle increased data traffic. Optical equipment providers of all sizes must develop next-generation solutions that integrate voice and data into one converged network infrastructure. This may require manufacturers partnering with the competition to give service providers end-to-end solutions that are flexible, interoperable, easy-to-use, and easily implemented. Solution providers that can guarantee quality of service (QoS) can expect to gain substantial market share over the forecast period.

This Frost & Sullivan research provides a comprehensive global view of the next-generation optical networking systems market. It provides strategies to help participants gain market share and supplies insights to assist investors in identifying revenue-generating segments. It is an excellent resource for companies that want to take advantage of key market opportunities.

Implementation of Standards Eases Service Providers' Purchasing Concerns

The establishment of industry standards will help equipment and system vendors assure service providers that solutions purchased today will still be functional in the future—easing cost concerns and increasing spending on optical equipment. Previously, a lack of standards has hindered the sale of next-generation equipment to service providers. "While service providers have numerous compelling reasons to install next- generation equipment, an unlimited budget is unavailable," states the author of this research. "If the installed equipment does not migrate towards becoming an industry standard, their network costs will rise."

Wireless Networks Prime Area of Growth

As the wireless market continues to grow, wireless providers are demanding more optical products for the expansion of their infrastructures. Equipment manufacturers that can align with wireless companies now will increase their market share in the near-term.

"The growth in wireless networks for voice, data, Internet, and video will greatly increase the need for optical networking equipment throughout the entire network," states the author.

Service providers must look to next-generation optical equipment in order to remain competitive. Users of this Frost & Sullivan research benefit from the most up-to-date market intelligence available, enabling you to formulate strategies for success in the global next-generation optical networking systems markets.
