European Communications Test Equipment Markets

Migration towards Triple Play Facilitates Growth in the European Communication Test Equipment Market
As triple play becomes a term synonymous with broadband networks, European service providers are competing aggressively to offer telephony, data and video services to their customers. While telecom companies are incorporating Internet Protocol television (IPTV) to their services, many European cable operators are upgrading older cable networks to support the deployment of voice, video and data services. However, the poor state of copper access networks and inventory records pose significant challenges in the march towards telecommunication convergence. Consequently, this is ensuring a greater need for communication test equipment, thus bolstering the growth of the European communication test equipment market.
This Frost & Sullivan research service is an analysis of the European markets for communication test equipment. While focusing on gigabit Ethernet (GbE) test equipment, fibre optic test equipment (FOTE), as well as voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and x digital subscriber line (xDSL) test equipment, the study also discusses prevailing market drivers, restraints and industry challenges and provides detailed geographical analysis across the various regions in Europe.
Increased Bandwidth Consumption Fuels Demand
With the rapid spread of IP technology, applications such as VoIP and IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) have served to bring about a massive increase in network traffic. Along with increasing the complexity of communication networks and necessitating the need for better speeds, this has led to a massive surge in bandwidth requirements. Total broadband lines in Europe grew by more than 65 per cent in 2004, with the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland and Italy registering the highest growth. This demand for more bandwidth has increased the need for communication test equipment and the impact of this driver is expected to be high in the near to long term.
Moreover, contributing to the growing demand for communication test equipment is British Telecom (BT)'s vision of a single IP-based network offering voice, video and data for homes and businesses. Called the 21 century network (21 CN), the key benefits of this network include better reliability, accessibility, scalability and security. BT aims to commence its worldwide deployment by 2005 and also complete the European adoption by mid-2008, notes the analyst of this research service. Since the deployment of this network involves a large amount of testing during the installation, maintenance and post-deployment stages, the 21 CN is seen as a huge potential for the European communication test equipment market.
Growth of IPTV expected to Increase Revenues for Test Vendors in Future
In tune with the increasing popularity of IPTV among subscribers of broadband networks, IPTV has become an important offering among providers of triple play services. While IPTV requires sufficient bandwidth for its deployment, the quality of video delivered is a crucial parameter governing its success, thus requiring the comprehensive testing of IPTV networks. This, in turn, is creating a lucrative market opportunity for test equipment vendors both at the time of deployment and during the functioning of these networks and as the technology continues to gather momentum, revenues for test vendors are bound to see an increase in the future.
Overall, the convergence of technologies, coupled with the introduction of new ones such as 10GbE are increasing opportunities for vendors of test equipment. DSL has gained popularity as the most popular access technology in Europe and the demand for DSL test equipment and FOTE exhibit the greatest potential, says the analyst. In realising these opportunities, quality of service, customer support, customer retention, modularity, flexibility, scalability and price-to-performance ratio are key qualities that test vendors will need to address.
