Description

Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) equipment acts as a capacity multiplier in adding more data channels to existing optical fibers. As such, DWDM systems and equipment serve as a sensitive bellwether for the entire optical networking field - a field that has had a rough go of it for the first half of calendar year 2001. The market for DWDM systems can be split into two domains: the long-haul market and the Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) market. The long-haul portion of the DWDM market will take a hit in 2001, from the level of business in 2000, before recovering in 2002 and beyond. The MAN market for DWDM systems, building on a small base from calendar year 2000, will show nice growth throughout 2004/2005. Overall, the combined market for DWDM systems will grow from approximately $7.8 billion in 2000 to $20.8 billion in 2005.
