Nearly 290 Million Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Switch Ports to Ship over the Next Five Years, According to Dell'Oro GroupREDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recently published report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center IT industries, nearly 290 million multi-gigabit (2.5/5.0 Gbps) Ethernet switch ports will ship over the next five years. In the meantime, 1 gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) will peak in 2021. "The campus switching market is entering an era of multi-year growth driven by new requirements of the digital transformation and an overdue refresh cycle," said Sameh Boujelbene, Senior Director at Dell'Oro Group. "As enterprise customers are upgrading their networks, they are considering new feature sets as well as higher speeds, such as 2.5/5.0 Gbps. We expect 2.5/5.0 Gbps to ramp significantly over our forecast horizon, driven mostly by Wi-Fi 6 Access point connectivity and high-end applications. In the meantime, while we predict 1 Gbps to start a long-term decline in 2021, this speed is forecast to still drive two-third of the campus switch port shipments in 2023," added Boujelbene.
