Service Provider Edge Router and Switch Market Declined Eight Percent in the First Half of 2018, According to Dell'Oro GroupREDWOOD CITY, Calif., Sept. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recently published report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center IT industries, the worldwide service provider edge Router and Carrier Ethernet Switch market declined eight percent in the first half of 2018 compared to 2017. Multiple factors drove market decline, but potential rebound from new products is on the horizon. "The confluence of tepid telecom spending, maturing 4G mobile backhaul deployments, and new product introductions have contributed to the reduction in demand for routers and switches," said Shin Umeda, Vice President at Dell'Oro Group. "Telecom operators in the US have pared down their spending well below historical levels as they evaluate new technologies and architectures for 5G backhaul, and on top of that, the massive network buildouts in China are slowing after years of growth. On the positive side, Cisco, Juniper, and Nokia have introduced major upgrades to their edge router portfolis that should bring customers back in the coming quarters," added Umeda.
