The increasing telecom traffic, both nationally and internationally, prompted service providers to upgrade and expand their infrastructures in order to accommodate the unprecedented growth in bandwidth demand.
Most of the industrialized nations have completed or are in the process of completing construction of their backbone fiber networks and are now phasing in local loop links. For local network deployment, businesses are targeted in the initial phase (fiber to the office, fiber to the curb), then finally fiber to the home. Depending on the country, optical fiber in the local area access is either all the way to the building (single unit or multiple dwelling unit/MDU, to the business, etc), or to the other (opposite) extreme optical fiber is still outside of the country or at the fringes of the country’s border.
The complexity of broadband communication interconnect will increase exponentially over the next decade and beyond, driving strong demand for fiber optics, SONET, Ethernet, advanced digital cross connect, optical switching and other broadband products and transport techniques. Ethernet’s introduction as a transport-network access technology has enabled new revenue generating services such as Business Ethernet Services and Residential Broadcast Video. The ultimate result will be a tremendous increase in communication capacity available to subscribers, at a greatly reduced cost per equivalent voice channel. For network investors, however, there will be many risks and rewards.
In 2006, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 working group formed the Higher Speed Study Group (HSSG) and found that the growth in bandwidth for network aggregation applications was outpacing the capabilities of networks employing link aggregation with 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) and 100GbE are Ethernet standards developed by IEEE P802.3ba Ethernet Task Force, which started in November 2007, and ratified on June 17, 2010. These standards support sending Ethernet frames at 40 and 100 gigabits per second over multiple 10 Gbps or 25 Gbps lanes. Previously, the fastest published standard was 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
Going into 2011, it is important to note that 10GbE is still migrating into the data centers. According to a new market research report from ElectroniCast Consultants, the 10GbE movement into the data centers will continue; however, “future-proofing” is expected to proceed by embracing the 40/100GbE, especially driven by the need to increase network productivity as well as controlling operating expenditures.
Applications such as video, virtualization (cloud computing),switching/routing and convergence are driving the need for bandwidth expansion.We continue on the path of gradually developing of growth (and change) from 1G to 10G to 40G and 100G.
The global fiber optic connector/mechanical splice consumption is driven by a dramatic increase in bandwidth demand beyond the limits of copper. Technological advances in fiber optics are assuring the migration of fiber closer and closer to the end user. This translates into demand for shorter links where connectors represent a substantial share of the total installation cost. The cost concerns are being addressed with the introduction of smaller, lower cost and easier to install connectors. Multifiber connector (>2 fibers) use, still relatively small, will be the choice for high fiber density interconnects applications.
This report provides the Consumption Value (US$, million), Quantity (number/units), and Average Selling Prices (ASP $, each). The value is determined by multiplying the number of units by the average selling price. The ASPs are based on the price of the connector/splice at the initial factory level. This 2009-2014 market forecast is presented for each significant fiber optic connector and mechanical splice used in selected communication applications. The market data are segmented into the following geographic regions, plus a Global summary:
