Abstract
This IDC study examines all application-specific wired semiconductors for
datacom/telecom equipment markets. It includes market rankings (via revenue)
for T/E, ATM, SONET/SDH, and network processing semiconductor suppliers.
Rankings for communication processors, including standalone host and integrated
processor devices, that ship into datacom/telecom equipment markets are also
included in this study.
"While some segments of the telecom/datacom semiconductor market are clearly
declining, others continue to sustain a relatively steady revenue stream that
can grow over time due to their ever-changing nature. Both the SONET and the
communications processor segments will be the most interesting to watch, as
they still remain very relevant in network infrastructures now and in the
future." - Aileen Arcilla, senior research analyst, Semiconductors
