Posted on: Friday, 27 August 2004, 06:00 CDT

Electronic and Optical Switching Fabric Analysed

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com) has announced the addition of Electronic and Optical Switching Fabric Forecasts and Market Share Analysis to their offering.

This new report provides detailed volume and value forecasts for 2004 to 2008 for electronic and optical switching fabrics and devices. The report includes the latest assessment of market shares for both telecom and data communications switching products and an analysis of where the key market opportunities lie. In presenting the latest forecasts for this sector, readers are also provided with take on crucial industry issues such as the revival of telecom and IT spending, the shift to packet switching, the growing viability of solid-state optical switches, renewed interest in ROADMs, aggregation for high-speed LANs and SANs, and broadband wireless switching. How start-ups are still trying to make money in the module space is also examined.

The report discusses the role of both switches and related products in the long haul, metro core, access and enterprise segments and in both wireline and wireless networks. The trend towards standardization of switching fabrics and the future role of optical switching are also a major focus of this report. For each of the product types forecasted, breakouts by data rate supported, technology used, and standards/features supported are included.

The forecasts in this report are derived from an integrated forecasting database of the entire telecom and datacom value chain. The methodologies employed for compiling the database include an ongoing interview program with players at every level of that chain - service providers, equipment manufacturers, optical component manufacturers and semiconductor manufacturers as well as factors such as SEC filings, commercial real estate data, physical locations both in the public network and enterprise network and how network elements are configured in order to present a clear picture of the entire market from chassis to modules to components and chips.
