Transmission Modules 10 Gbps and Below: 2007-Vol 1

Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: Communications Industry Researchers Inc
Published: May 2007
Product Code: R1380-5
Description
While much of the excitement in networking is currently to be found at 40 Gbps and above, most of the money is in the 10 Gbps and below segment. This report analyzes and forecasts the markets for transceivers, transponders and related products operating at 10 Gbps down to the lowest SONET/SDH rates and discusses how the leading firms in this space are planning their product and marketing strategies for the future.

CIR's new transmission modules report analyzes and quantifies all of the key market opportunities in the transceiver and transponder modules business through 2012. It covers Ethernet, Fibre Channel, parallel optics, PONs, SONET/SDH and WDM and addresses the impact of new signal processing technology (including EDC), optical integration/silicon photonics, and other emerging technologies on the module market. Detailed volume and value forecasts are provided for each protocol covered broken out by data rates, MSA, technology platform, reach, etc. The report also provides an analysis of current strategies of key players in the optical modules space.
