CIR Issues White Paper Titled, The Evolution of Technologies for Mass Market Optical Networking
June 5, 2008
Glen Allen, Virginia: CIR, a leading industry analyst firm based here today announced the release of a white paper that looks at key technology trends driving the market for optical components in data communications networks. The information in the paper was drawn from a soon to be released report from CIR. The paper can be accessed from the firm's website at www.cir-inc.com
About the Paper:
According to CIR, the data networking market has reached a point in its evolution where millions of optical networking interfaces are being sold. There are a number of key technical trends that are making the possibility of mass market optical networking possible namely, new approaches to optical integration, better media choices, and an optimization of physical layer formats and MSAs. Similar developments brought about mass market high-speed electronic networking a few decades back so CIR believes there are encouraging sign for the optical future.
About CIR's Reports:
Data Communications Transceiver Markets: The Next Five Years provides CIR's latest forecasts and analysis of the data communications transceivers market. This report examines where the opportunities in data communications transceivers are to be found, it looks at new enabling technologies and market drivers that will make 10 GigE the mainstream version of Ethernet and how Fibre Channel will gradually evolve to 8 Gbps and 16 Gbps speeds. CIR's new data communications transceiver report analyzes and quantifies all of the key market opportunities in this business arising from the latest developments in the MSA saga, optical integration, silicon photonics and other new technologies on this market. The report also discusses the activities of leading firms in the datacom transceiver space. Detailed volume and value forecasts are provided for each protocol covered broken out by data rates, MSA, technology platform, reach, etc.
Telecom Transceiver and Transponder Markets: The Next Five Years provides the firm's latest forecasts of transceivers and transponders for the public networking environment. The report focuses on the requirement of these products to take public networking into the world of the ITU-defined Optical Transport Network (OTN) where Ethernet rather than SONET/SDH will dominate. This report discusses the opportunities that are likely to emerge as a result how OC-768, 40 GigE and 100 GigE are likely to coexist in carrier networks and what this will mean to transceiver/transponder makers. It will also examine future reach requirements for transceivers and transponders and what parts of the network will be biggest revenue earners; long-haul, metro or access. With regard to access, we will also examine current opportunities for PON transceivers. The report also reviews key enabling technologies for public network transmission modules and how the many and how the various overlapping MSAs will play themselves out in the market. The report also discusses the activities of the leading firms in the telecom transceiver⁄transponder space. Detailed volume and value forecasts are provided for each protocol covered broken out by data rates, MSA, technology platform, reach, etc.
