Report Description:
Two trends are converging to create
a new growth spurt in the add-drop multiplexer market: opticalfs push into
metro and access networks, and the increased intelligence embedded in the muxes
themselves. While SONET ADMs
have been a fixture in metro ring networks for many years, a new generation of
multi-protocol capable ADMs are becoming available.
As user demand grows for broadband Internet access, video-on-demand,
videoconferencing, and other applications, the need for optical ADMs will
increase. This study will forecast
the optical ADM hardware market and the amount of traffic carried by this new
class of ADMs. |
