DSL Equipment Sales Tumbled in 2017 as Operators Look to Alternatives, According to Dell'Oro GroupREDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to a recently published report from Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center IT industries, DSL equipment sales tumbled in 2017, falling to $2.5 B as operators look to alternative deployments. DSL market experienced double-digit decline as Gfast looms over the horizon. “The DSL market decelerated in the second half of 2017,” said Alam Tamboli, Senior Analyst at Dell’Oro Group. “Gfast Amendment 3 chipsets have recently become available, and operators are furiously testing and trialing the products. We found some operators are hesitant to deploy VDSL and are delaying investments to wait for Gfast or PON. However, Gfast commercial availability is limited and not expected to ramp until 2019,” Tamboli explained. Additional highlights from the 4Q17 Broadband Access Quarterly Report:
