There has been little optimism for WDM of late, with SONET being declared the "big winner" in both the metro and long haul. But WDM can compliment SONET, and sales will continue to grow-just not at the rates seen or predicted before the market downturn. Carriers realize that they are in possession of enough capacity to meet most of their needs for several years and that will curb their WDM equipment purchasing.
This new report presents detailed market forecasts of metro and long-haul WDM systems and components over the next four years, based on analysis of demand trends, and interviews with carriers and equipment vendors. Forecasts for systems are broken down by data-rate, channel count, and reach where appropriate. Transmission component forecasts are broken down by technology, data rate and application. Graphs are included to show key aspects of each market at-a-glance.
