Infonetics Research: WSS component market exploding due to aggressive carrier deployments of ROADMs
BOSTON, MA, Nov 12, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Market research firm Infonetics Research
(http://twitter.com/infonetics) today released the industry's first
report tracking wavelength selective switch (WSS) component market
share.
The report, ROADM Components Market Outlook, is also the first to
analyze the WSS component market by discrete category, measuring by
spacing technology and degree-count, including WSS components with
100GHz and 50GHz channel spacing and 4 or fewer (1x4) and 5 or more
(1x5) add/drop ports.
ANALYST NOTE
"In a tough year for the overall optical network hardware market, the
WDM ROADM optical segment has been the bright light in a dim room, and
wavelength selective switches (WSS) are the key component used by
this equipment. WSS consumption has exploded due to aggressive ROADM
deployment by carriers such as Verizon, and we see no end to this
trend," explains Andrew Schmitt, Infonetics Research's directing
analyst for optical.
SELECT REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
-- Two of the key trends driving strong growth in the WSS optical
component market:
-- A move toward tighter channel spacing, from 100GHz to 50GHz, which
doubles fiber capacity and ensures compatibility with cutting-edge
WDM solutions
-- Increasing demand for devices with a larger degree count (1x5 ports
or more), which provide service providers greater flexibility as
they design their networks
-- The WDM ROADM optical equipment market will remain the fastest growing
segment of the optical equipment business, with worldwide revenue
increasing at a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13%
from 2008 to 2013
-- WSS component revenue will grow at an even faster CAGR
-- JDSU leads in worldwide ROADM WSS component market share in the first
half of 2009
-- Market share shifts are expected as the market transitions to 50GHz
channel spacing and demand for both very small and very large
components increases
REPORT SYNOPSIS
Infonetics' ROADM components report includes customizable pivot
tables and provides market size, market share, forecasts, and
in-depth analysis on WSS components (revenue and units), with added
historical and current ROADM optical equipment market size and share
for a big-picture view of the market. The report provides WSS
component pricing trends, supplier size, ASP forecast, deployment
models, and market drivers and trends.
The report tracks ROADM WSS components in 4 discrete categories: 1)
1x4 or fewer add/drop ports, 100GHz; 2) 1x4 or fewer add/drop ports,
50GHz; 3) 1x5 or more add/drop ports, 100GHz; and 4) 1x5 or more
add/drop ports, 50GHz.
WSS component manufacturers tracked in the report include Capella,
CoAdna, Finisar, JDSU, Neophotonics, Nistica, Oclaro, Xtellus, and
others.
ROADM optical equipment market share is included in the report for
ADVA, Alcatel-Lucent, Ciena, Cisco, ECI, Ericsson, Fujitsu, Huawei,
Infinera, Marconi, NEC, Nokia Siemens, Nortel, Tellabs, Transmode, and
others.
Led by directing analyst Andrew Schmitt, who covers the optical
market from the carrier, equipment and components sides, the ROADM
WSS components report is available now and will be updated and
published biannually in 2010 (Mar. 18 and Sept. 15).
