Global Passive Optical Network (PON) Equipment (Gigabit & Ethernet) Market Report 2014 - 2019
M2 - Thu Jul 24, 3:28AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3n2shp/passive_optical) has announced the addition of the "Passive Optical Network (PON) Equipment Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends And Forecast, 2013 - 2019" report to their offering. Passive optical network (PON) is a point to multipoint telecommunication network. PON is a fiber to home/premises (FFTH/FFTP) architecture which serves multi premises through unpowered optical splitters and a single optical fiber. Optical fiber splitters do not require electricity for signal transmission, which makes it an energy saving technology. The split ratio depends on the structure of the PON used, such as Gigabyte passive optical network (GPON) and Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) among others. Low cost of ownership and high return on investments coupled with higher bandwidth, greater reliability, unmatched security are the major driving forces of the PON equipment market. In addition, environment friendly green solution, scalability and simplified network operations further drives growth in this market. However, high initial investments at the operators interface hamper growth in this market. The high investment in research infrastructure coupled with technological advancements proves to be an opportunistic area for the market. In addition, the growing demand for higher bandwidth in the Asia Pacific and Rest of the World economies is another major opportunity for the PON equipment market growth in the near future. Report Scope Passive optical network (PON) equipment Market: By structure - Gigabit passive optical network (GPON) - Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) Gigabit Passive optical network (GPON) equipment Market: By components - Optical Network Terminal (ONT) - Optical Line Terminal (OLT) Ethernet Passive optical network (EPON) equipment Market: By components - Optical Network Terminal (ONT) - Optical Line Terminal (OLT) Key Topics Covered: Chapter 1 Preface Chapter 2 Executive Summary Chapter 3 Market Overview Chapter 4 Global Passive Optical Network (PON) Equipment Market: By Structure Chapter 5 Global Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) Equipment Market: By Components Chapter 6 Global Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) Equipment Market: By Components Chapter 7 Global Passive Optical Network (PON)Equipment Market -By Region Chapter 8 Company Profiles - Adtran Inc. - Alcatel-Lucent S.A. - AT & T Inc. - Broadcom Corporation, Inc. - Calix Inc. - ECI Telecom, Ltd. - Ericsson Inc. - Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. - Hitachi Communication Technologies, Inc. - Huawei Technologies Comp., Ltd. - Ikanos Communications, Inc. - Macom Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation - Motorola Solutions, Inc. - PMC-Sierra, Inc. - Tellabs Inc. - Verizon Communications Inc. - Zhone Technologies, Inc. - ZTE Corp.
