Product Code: R104-15696
Description

This IDC study forecasts the five-year revenue opportunity for fiber access equipment from 2004 to 2008. IDC breaks down fiber access equipment revenue by geographic region, including North America, Europe, Asia/Pacific, and the rest of the world (ROW). IDC also breaks down the worldwide market by the major equipment segments, including ATM passive optical network (PON) (APON), Ethernet PON (EPON), and point-to-point Ethernet equipment. Issues addressed include the following:

What is the revenue opportunity for fiber access equipment from 2004 to 2008? Which vendors participate in this market? How are government regulations impacting the fiber access equipment market? How will Ethernet technologies fare against more established APON technologies, and which types of products will dominate the market? How will fiber access equipment revenue by divided among the major geographic regions over the next five years?

"Fiber is the next-generation wireline replacement for copper access networks. Clearly, the migration from copper to fiber will take a long time. Decades will pass before fiber access lines outnumber copper access lines. But the migration has begun." ? Sterling Perrin, senior research analyst, Optical Networks
