Abstract
This IDC study forecasts the five-year revenue opportunity for passive optical
network (PON) equipment from 2005 to 2010. IDC breaks down PON equipment
revenue by geographic region, including North America, Europe, Asia/Pacific,
and the rest of the world (ROW). IDC also breaks down the worldwide market by
the major equipment segments, including broadband PON (BPON), Ethernet PON
(EPON), and GPON equipment. Issues addressed include the following:
- What is the revenue opportunity for PON equipment from 2005 to 2010?
- Which vendors participate in this market?
- What role is IPTV playing in PON deployments, and how will this role vary by region?
- How will PON equipment revenue be divided among the major geographic regions over the next five years?
"The spread of bandwidth-consuming services such as video on demand, VoIP, and
IPTV has led to a corresponding expansion of the need for increased bandwidth
capacity. PONs provide this with capacity to spare. There is a significant
opportunity for PON deployments over the next five-plus years." - David
Emberley, research manager, Telecom Equipment
