TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global Optical Transport Network (OTN) Market: Alcatel-Lucent SA, Ciena Corp., Fujitsu Ltd., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., Infinera Corp., and ZTE Corp.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “During the forecast period, there will be increasing shipment for single-chip process supporting 10G, 40G and 100G OTN solutions. OTNs play a critical role in providing the interconnect infrastructure required to efficiently and reliably deliver cloud-based services. Continued growth in mobile data traffic and the projected growth in data center-driven WAN traffic are the catalysts behind the need for all-time connectivity. To meet this demand, there is an increasing deployment of 100G ports in metros across the globe. In order to exploit the capabilities of 100G networks, service providers are actively working to develop efficient transport infrastructure to enable dynamic bandwidth allocation with granularity from 100Gbps down to 1Gbps, without interruption to network traffic.”
According to the report, there are several factors driving the growth of the Global OTN Equipment market, one of which is the unstoppable demand for the mobile data applications. The inexorable rise of data traffic from smart devices is steering the burgeoning market for OTN equipment. Now the service providers globally are compelled to pro-actively take a strategic and aggressive stance to optimize the capacity of their existing network infrastructures, a trend that is likely to continue throughout the period 2012-2016.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges is the need for high levels of initial investment. High initial investment is required for the replacement of the existing copper lines with fiber-optic cables. Copper lines are less expensive than fiber-optic cables required in optical networks. Despite the fact that the prices of optical network equipment are reducing, many countries are still evaluating the fiber-optic technology and waiting for the prices of fiber-optic cables to decline further before they invest in the technology.
