Abstract
Although the broadband Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) market is in the
process of transitioning from being heavily dominated by modems toward a
heavier focus on gateways, this process is not occurring overnight. Service
providers are behind this transition to enable back-end managed home networks
and opportunities for additional revenue. A major increase in worldwide
broadband subscribers, not to mention the hot popularity of wireless- and
VoIP-enabled equipment, is resulting in a healthy CPE growth this year that is
on track to approach 20%. Many consumers are attempting to save on their
traditional phone bill by trying out several flavors of VoIP that are
available today. With this interest, the market for VoIP-enabled CPE has
benefited, and will continue to benefit.
This report includes discussions of trends, worldwide vendor market shares
(modems, gateways, SOHO routers), and provides five-year forecasts of
residential gateways, modems, and routers in units and revenues. Cable and DSL
CPE modems and gateways are also forecasted by region. Forecasts for gateways
are broken out by access type. Also included are forecasts for cable CPE with
E-MTA, VoIP-enabled DSL CPE and routers, and DOCSIS standard migration. Market
shares for modems (DSL and Cable), gateways and routers are included as well.
