Infonetics: Operators Spending $5.6 Billion over 5 Years on Ethernet Access Devices; ADVA Takes Top Spot
Nov. 29, 2012 11:48 AM
Market research firm Infonetics
Research released excerpts from its latest Ethernet
Access Devices market size, market share, and forecast report,
which tracks revenue, units, and ports for copper and fiber Ethernet
access devices (EADs).
ANALYST NOTE
“With so many operators moving to fiber as they upgrade building sites
and mobile backhaul from TDM
to Ethernet, fiber-based EADs will remain a much bigger market than
copper EADs,” anticipates Michael
Howard, principal analyst for carrier networks and co-founder of Infonetics
Research. “That said, it is clear that a growing number of mobile
backhaul operators and transport providers are turning to EFM (Ethernet
for First Mile) bonded copper technology, taking advantage of its
extended reach and capacity in many applications and locations where
fiber is too expensive for the return on investment. In fact, EFM bonded
copper EAD sales were up while fiber and Ethernet over TDM EAD sales
were down in the first half of 2012.”
“TDM-based EADs aside, the EAD market is growing nicely on an annual
basis, strongly influenced by healthy Ethernet
service uptake. We expect operators to spend close to $5.6 billion
cumulative on EADs over the five years from 2012 to 2016.”
ETHERNET ACCESS DEVICES MARKET HIGHLIGHTS
-
Globally, the Ethernet access device market fell 4% in the first half
of 2012 (1H12) from the second half of 2011 (2H11), despite growth in
the EFM bonded copper EAD segment
-
Infonetics forecasts the EAD market to top $1.3 billion by 2016
-
While North America, where EADs first took off, remains the largest
market with 54% revenue share in 1H12, Latin America is the
fastest-growing region for EADs
-
ADVA took the lead in global Ethernet access device revenue
share in 1H12, followed by Ciena, Overture, and Actelis
-
Actelis continues to lead the fast-growing EFM bonded copper
EAD segment
