Market Overview
Evolution of VoIP, 40G Ethernet, and VPN Drives Demand in the LAN/WAN Test Equipment Market
With workforce mobility gaining increasing traction and the proliferation of smart phones and laptops, IT organizations are going the extra mile to ramp up performance and provide seamless access to all users, regardless of their physical location. The evolution of technologies such as voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), 10 Gb Ethernet, 40 Gb Ethernet, and virtual private networks (VPN), the demand for LAN/WAN test equipment had grown to a considerable extent in 2009. Modern-day service delivery challenges require granular, real-time, and historical visibility of network parameters across all applications. To optimize the service and prevent downtime, service degradation, as well as reduce operational complexity and cost, organizations are willing to increase spend on network analyzers. Thus, numerous opportunities have been unleashed for test equipment manufacturers in the LAN/WAN test equipment market. “A prominent driver for the LAN/WAN test equipment market is the upswing in bandwidth demand as a result of the rapidly growing demand for global broadband and high-speed internet services,” notes the analyst of this research service. “While network operators continue to provide feature-rich services, the demand for bandwidth is expected to open new avenues of opportunity for LAN/WAN test equipment vendors.” Apart from the demand for bandwidth, the emergence of new technologies such as cloud computing and virtualization are also boosting market prospects.
Although the market is poised to continue its high growth rate, there are some challenges restraining its momentum. Constrained budgets due to macroeconomic conditions have been a major bottleneck for the test equipment market. Further, the available budget is mostly spent on other IT products such as virtualization, server consolidation, storage expansion, and energy reduction instead of LAN/WAN test equipment. Revenue per user is vital for service providers in the telecommunication industry. “Economic conditions and competition have limited the overall revenue per user while more services are being added,” says the analyst. “In the long run, this restraint is expected to impact the investment plans of service providers and deter procurement of new test equipment.” Fierce competition characterizes the LAN/WAN test equipment market and four major participants dominate the landscape. These companies have global presence through direct sales and distribution channels. New entrants find it difficult to penetrate the market through product differentiation or innovation. Moreover, large service providers are hesitant to work with new or unknown vendors, and this poses a major challenge for new entrants.
With the evolution of new technologies and standards, test equipment manufacturers must step up R&D efforts to stay on the cutting edge of technology. Failure on the part of the manufacturers to anticipate and understand the latest technology developments will directly impact their market position in terms of market share, sales, and customer base. It is imperative for LAN/WAN test equipment manufacturers to unleash new products in response to the emerging needs of end users.
