2012Q1 global optical network equipment market plunged 12%

OFweek communication /Valiant May 20, 2011 International News, and a quarter ( fourth quarter 2010) compared to, in the first quarter of this year, although the light hardware sales fell 12%, but the market research firm Infonetics in its latest release in the first quarter of 2011 optical network hardware market analysis report said, looking at the 2011 annual light hardware market, annual still will keep at least a double-digit growth.

Infonetics optical communication market senior analyst, Andrew Schmitt resolute and decisive say: " although the first quarter of 2011, optical communication hardware products glides somewhat, but we still believe in the year 2011, optical communication hardware products will maintain a double-digit growth rate. As for the mobile communication network and the wired broadband backhaul network optical network equipment demand is still rising, and the operators are busy deployment based on OTN and ROADM 40G and 100G optical network, so WDM and packet transmission equipment supplier will continue to profit, while SONET/SDH equipment supply business in the fierce competition in the market hard walk. "

In the first quarter of 2010 to the first quarter of 2011 this year, the global optical network equipment market rose 7%, wherein the single WDM optical network equipment market, the sales growth rate of 20%.

The report also includes the following the content of the data:

If in the first quarter of 2011, Japan and North America the central optical network hardware equipment supplier performance is strong, in which Ciena, Cisco, Fujitsu and NEC are the realization of a digit or two digit growth,

The other large optical network equipment supplier has suffered different degrees of decline, Arun and Huawei are doomed;

And from the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011, the Kita Mihikaru network equipment market gently;

The addition of Asia-Pacific area, all of the remaining area of the optical equipment market to maintain growth level;

If in the first quarter of 2011, ROADM device again refresh history record, get rid of the seasonal effect, then the growth of 4%.

The optical network hardware market analysis report is a collection of all countries and regions of the equipment supplier market share and market size and published a comprehensive report. The report also includes the metropolitan area network and long distance optical transmission network devices ( SONET/SDH, ADM and terminal, metropolitan area network MSPPs and network interconnection products etc. ) WDM ( transmission network equipment, ROADM and long distance cable equipment ) and packet optical transmission system ( P-OTS ).
