Public Network Switching, Routing and Cross Connects: Next Generation Optical Products and Services
CIR, May 2000
Communications Industry Researchers is pleased to announce a new research program to address the issues facing the Optical Networking Market. Covering both the Optical Core and Access sectors, CIR’s reports and consulting services will enable companies to gain a competitive advantage in this exploding market. We believe that the opportunities available to industry participants will be measured in the billions of dollars. However, the competition for these dollars will be fierce and the winners will need to negotiate a rapidly changing terrain.
Drawing upon CIR’s decade long experience in Broadband Network research and analysis, as well as its on-going coverage of the Optical Networking market, the program will provide client companies with:
- Detailed market opportunity analyses - Comprehensive profiles of vendor and service provider strategies - In-depth forecasts of technology deployments in both core and access networks - Predictions on technology platforms and networking architectures - Analysis of the issues involving Network Management and OSSes and how companies can successfully address them - Recommendations on how vendors can gain market acceptance of their products and how service providers can implement optical networking to increase competitive advantage
The reports will be issued in two volumes. The first release will be devoted to the core of the network and the second volume will cover the access space. To allow client companies to maximize the information contained within the reports, CIR will also provide four hours of consulting time to companies that elect to purchase both volumes of the study.
Public Network Switching, Routing and Cross Connects: Next Generation Optical Products and Services
In this report CIR will analyze and quantify the opportunities that are emerging for vendors of switches, cross-connects and routers as the result of the shift from circuit switched to packet/IP based public networks and the rapid growth in the number of Clecs. The report will also survey the field of the new breed of Class 4 and Class 5 switch replacements, optical cross-connects and terabit routers. It will determine the features required by Ilecs, Clecs and IXCs from the next generation of switching, routing and cross-connect gear and what the trade-offs will be for service providers adopting today's leading edge products.
Questions that CIR will answer in this report include:
- How many Class 5 switches will be replaced with next generation products in the next few years? - When will optical cross-connects become mainstream features in the public network? - When will the first true optical switches emerge? - Are Terabit routers too little, too late? - What new service revenue opportunities will optical cross-connects create? - What will ATM's role be in the next generation switching market?
The report will also identify who the leading companies in next generation switching will be and will also review the emerging technologies that are making these new products possible. A five-year market forecast of all the products covered in this report is also included.
Although Dwdm and Sonet are often talked about as rivals, it now seems as if both will thrive in the public network for many years. And, as optical access technologies become a commercial reality, CIR believes that great opportunities will become available for end-users, service providers and vendors alike. This report will analyze and quantify the market for Optical Access and will discuss the main opportunities that CIR believes will emerge in the optical transmission business over the next five years.
Questions that CIR will answer in this report include:
- What will the new access architecture of the future look like and what will both carriers and vendors need to account for? - Does Sonet/TDM have a future in the public network? - When will the need for Terabit backbones arise? - How fast will Dwdm penetrate the metro market? - What are the opportunities for vendors to distinguish themselves by creating new OAM& P solutions in the optical networking space? - What architectures will emerge for the public optical network -- mesh or ring? - When will IP-over-dwdm become a reality? - How will network management and OSS issues be addressed?
The report will discuss the major strategies being deployed by vendors bringing products to market in this space and will also survey in depth how service providers are using Dwdm today and how they plan to use it in the future. New services and architectures associated with Dwdm will be analyzed and a five-year forecast of all products covered will also be included.
To enable our customers to receive a comprehensive analysis of the market, CIR will apply a mix of primary and secondary research to the program. Primary research will be drawn from interviews of service providers ranging from IXC, LEC, Clec and MSO as well as both established and start-up equipment and software vendors. Secondary research sources will be provided from CIR’s extensive in-house library and statistical databases as well as through sources of public information. Directing the overall project will be Lawrence Gasman, CIR’s President and Director of Core Networking.
