OVERVIEW
Recent developments have turned the optical networking business into one of the most dynamic areas of the telecommunications industry, and start-up companies are being given millions to pursue their unique solutions to the optical communications puzzle. In addressing the developments in optical networking, Next-Generation Optical Networks: Advanced Technologies and Market Opportunities, co-published by the International Engineering Consortium and Communications Industry Researchers (CIR), covers the market for advanced optical communications products used by interexchange carriers (IXC)/Internet service providers (ISP), incumbent local-exchange carriers (ILEC), competitive local-exchange carriers (CLEC), and cable-television (CATV) operators.
The focus of this research report is on next-generation systems that include the new generation of synchronous optical network (SONET) systems, which offer more intelligence and lower cost than previous generations of such systems, and commercial products that have begun to embody the dream of an all-optical network. Both transmission and switching equipment are covered.
Primary market research for the report includes extensive interviews with leading vendors as well as ILECs, CLECs, and IXCs that are currently deploying optical networks and technologies. The report also draws upon a detailed survey of optical-networking industry executives and statistical analysis of current marketplace data.
