Next-generation SONET/SDH Offers Great Potential for World Test Equipment Market
With telecom companies offering higher speed bandwidth to meet new demand, the need for scalable, integrated, and compatible testing equipment is set to increase. After a long time, carriers are shifting from 10-gigabit synchronous optical networking/synchronous digital hierarchy (SONET/SDH) to 40-gigabit bandwidth. It is no longer feasible to use four 10-gigabit bandwidth cables for the new applications, and 40 gigabit is fast becoming the standard. This also poses technological challenges such as integration for the test equipment vendors. Integrated test solutions need to offer a better price-to-performance ratio, especially for the installation and maintenance market. Another driver for the test equipment market is the installation of multiservice SONET provisioning platforms (MSPPs).
"The overall growth in Ethernet is also driving the bandwidth expansion in SONET/SDH, whether it is traditional, next generation, or optical transport network (OTN), as Ethernet requires SONET/SDH as a carrier," notes the analyst of this research. "In IP/Ethernet access, emerging applications such as video and 3G-4G play a key part." With Ethernet slowly emerging as a primary access technology, SONET/SDH and OTN will find greater deployment as the transport mechanism for the core of the network. In fact, the maturity and reliability of the SONET/SDH technology will ensure its continued deployment and consequently, enhance the market for the test equipment.
SONET/SDH Rollout in Eastern Europe and Asia Pacific to Boost the Market for Test Equipment
Countries such as Russia, China, and India are witnessing massive traditional SONET/SDH deployments due to the proven reliability of the technology. Service providers and network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) have established or are in the process of setting up bases in these countries. This factor is set to boost the market for test equipment in these regions. Local equipment manufacturers too have come up in the Asia Pacific region, generating more demand for test equipment. The shift toward next-generation SONET is greater in Europe than in North America, where companies are adopting a wait-and-watch strategy. The Eastern European market is set to grow the fastest as traditional SONET/SDH deployments do not require large investments.
"The Asia Pacific region offers the most opportunities for test equipment vendors of SONET/SDH," notes the analyst. "In Japan, there are requirements for next-generation SONET and it is also actively deploying OTN." China and India, on the other hand, continue to increasingly use traditional SONET/SDH. At present, there is not much need for next-generation SONET/SDH in China and India.
