TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global 100G Line Card Market: Alcatel-Lucent, Ciena Corp., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., and Xtera Communications Inc.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “One of the major trends being witnessed in the Global 100G Line Card market is the growing demand for cloud application delivery. Faster evolution of cloud computing and cloud-based applications is resulting in an increasing adoption of such applications among enterprises. End-users are accessing the applications over the cloud infrastructure, which gives the flexibility of accessing the applications from any location using any computing device. The cloud infrastructure is supported using high-speed communication networks and fiber channels. 100G line cards find their adoption in places where communication networks are interconnected with routers. Currently, 100G transponders are replacing multiple muxponders, which are used for the integration of multiple low-speed interconnects into a high-speed channel.”
According to the report, one of the major drivers is the increasing bandwidth of enterprise networks; this is mainly because of the increasing number of bandwidth-intensive applications being adopted by enterprises. Enterprises are increasingly adopting video-based applications such as VOD, video conferencing, and online gaming applications.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges is the high cost of 100G line cards. Since 100G line card is an emerging technology and is in its initial stages of evolution, the cost of 100G line card is high. However, this high cost is expected to reduce considerably in the coming years, leading to an increase in its adoption.
