Study of Market and Technology Advances of Chromatic Dispersion Compensation Devices

Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: Practel, Inc.
Published: February 2004
Product Code: R606-25
Description
Fiber optics telecommunications transport systems are using Chromatic Dispersion Compensation Devices (CDCD) in long haul and metropolitan networks usually when the required speed of transmission is higher than 2.5 Gb/s. The performance of these networks become critically impaired if Chromatic Dispersion of single mode fiber is not controlled. The CDCD market is growing with development of DWDM technology and tendency to network globalization. The economics of CDCD play important role in current network infrastructures.

This Report particular concentrates on:

  • CDCD Applications
  • Technologies
  • New Approaches
  • Market Drivers
  • Five-year Market Forecast
  • Analysis of the major market players’ products
This Report provides insight on a complex issues connected with CDCD utilization. It is a must for a wide telecommunications group of specialists (developers, engineers, market researches) to understand the place of CDCD in today high-capacity networking to evoluate the network economics and strategy.
