Abstract
This IDC study forecasts the five-year revenue opportunity for fiber access equipment from 2005
to 2009. IDC breaks down fiber access equipment revenue by geographic region, including North
America, Europe, Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan), and the rest of the world (ROW). IDC also breaks
down the worldwide market by the major equipment segments, including broadband passive optical
network (BPON), Ethernet PON (EPON), and point-to-point Ethernet (P2P Ethernet). Equipment. Issues
addressed include the following:
- What is the revenue opportunity for fiber access equipment from 2005 to 2009?
- Which vendors participate in this market?
- What role is IPTV playing in fiber access deployments, and how will this role vary by region?
- How will Ethernet technologies fare against more-established BPON technologies, and which types
of products will dominate the market?
- How will fiber access equipment revenue be divided among the major geographic regions over the
next five years?
"Technology choices for fiber access will be drawn along regional lines. Vendors hoping to
maximize on fiber access market growth will play in multiple technologies and regions if
possible." - Sterling Perrin, research manager, Optical Networks
