The 100 Gbps Optical Food Chain
Lightcounting, June 2011
Growth in sales of 40G and 100G products continues despite the market slowdown. 100G optical transmission technology based on digital signal processing will enable future intelligent and flexible optical networks.
The development of DP-QPSK with coherent detection to support 100G DWDM line side transmission rates will prove to be a transformational technology in carrier networks. 100G will become the building block transmission rate for future networks, and as the first optical transmission technology based on digital signal processing, will enable future intelligent and flexible optical networks. While 10G will remain the largest market in both units and dollar value over the forecast period, 100G DWDM line cards are expected to grow into a $2.3 Billion dollar market by 2015. At the same time a new market for 40GE and 100GE client-side optical transceiver modules is developing and the market for those devices is forecast to grow to $380 million by 2015.
This report examines the development of 100G DWDM line-side technology and standards for 100G on both the line side (DWDM) and client side (Ethernet). It looks at trials and initial deployments of 100G technology as well as what is available from system, module and communications IC suppliers. It addresses the market opportunity for 40 and 100GE in the datacenter. It also takes a look at some of the activity to develop 100G direct detection alternatives to DP-QPSK. It presents forecasts for both client-side and line-side 40 and 100G technology as well as an evaluation of current market pricing. Finally, it presents some of the ongoing research in developing optical transmission technology beyond 100G.
