Dell'Oro Group Reports Ethernet Switch Market Increases for Third Consecutive Quarter; Record Shipments in Fixed Managed Fast Ethernet
Posted on: Wednesday, 15 February 2006, 12:00 CST
A recently published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, reveals that the Ethernet Switch market posted a third consecutive quarter of both revenue and port shipment growth. Key to this quarter's increase was record Fixed Managed Fast Ethernet port shipments.
"Despite being a very mature technology, Fixed Managed Fast Ethernet is experiencing a resurgence as vendors continue to offer lower priced products targeting small businesses, emerging markets and Service Providers," said Seamus Crehan, Director of Ethernet Switch Research at Dell'Oro Group. "Given this segment's recent strength, in conjunction with Fixed Managed Gigabit Ethernet still commanding a significant price premium over Fixed Managed Fast Ethernet, the Fixed Managed speed transition may be gradual," added Crehan.
