Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: Practel, Inc.
Published: March 2008
Product Code: R606-68Description This report addresses the emerging of high-rate fiber optics transmission systems. The systems with 40 Gb/s speed appeared in a market in early 2000, coinciding with the beginning of the worst in history downturn in the telecommunications development, research and production. In that hostile climate, high-rate transmission was met without enthusiasm-extra fiber capacity was more than enough.
At the present time, the industry is witnesses the rising interest for high-rate systems and it seems that the advent of 40 Gb/s pipes in carrier networks has finally arrived, with Verizon’s announcement at OFC/NFOEC in March of a 40 Gb/s link between New York and Washington. 2007 was the first year when sizable volume of 40 Gb/s units was shipped by the industry.
There are several factors in re-discovering attractiveness of such transmission; the most important from them are:
- Constantly raising demand for data spectrum
- Increasing fiber plant bandwidth utilization
- Standardization activity.
Among areas the most demanding for high-rate systems are Internet data and entertainment traffic, such as HD and SHD format signals that require significant bandwidth (measured in Gb/s) for each wired household.
