Optical Add Drop Multiplexers (OADMs) are components, subsystems or systems that enable several channels to be added or dropped to/from a group of WDM channels in a network. After six years of availability, OADMs are really just beginning to take off in all sectors of the optical communications market.
This new report presents detailed market forecasts of the OADM market over the next four years, based on analysis of demand trends, and interviews with systems builders and equipment vendors. Forecasts for OADM subsystems are broken down by type (fixed, switched and tunable) and by network segment (access, metro and long haul). Switched OADM forecasts are broken down by switching technology (OEO, optomechanical, MEMS, liquid crystal and solid state) while fixed OADM forecasts are broken down by filter technology (thin film, FBG, AWG). Figures are also given as an indication of the state of the market in general, and for sales of associated components. Graphs are included to show key aspects of each market at-a-glance.
