M2 - Thu Mar 13, 11:57AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pldtm2/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Terrestrial Optics Market 2012-2016" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Terrestrial Optics market to grow at a CAGR of 4.81 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing rollout of fiber optics networks in China and Southeast Asia. The Global Terrestrial Optics market has also been witnessing the increasing price competition among terrestrial optical network equipment providers. However, the increasing demand for terrestrial wireless communication systems could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. The key vendors dominating this market space are Alcatel-Lucent S.A., Ciena Corp., Fujitsu Ltd., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., and ZTE Corp. The other vendors mentioned in the report are Cisco Systems Inc., Fiberhome Telecommunication Technologies Co. Ltd., Hengtong Group Co. Ltd., Infinera Corp., Jiangsu Sterlite and Tongguang Optical Fibers Co. Ltd., Nortel Networks Corp., Yangtze Optical Fiber and Cable Co. Ltd., and Zhongli Science and Technology Group Co. Ltd. Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio's Telecom team said: ''Currently, the adoption of terrestrial optical fiber networks is increasing across the globe as a result of the high demand for internet connectivity. A number of players are entering the market to cater to this increased demand as well as to take advantage of favorable policies and investments in China, the MEA region, and Southeast Asia. In addition, China-based players offer terrestrial optical fiber products at much lower prices than many other vendors, and this has led to price wars among players in the market. Thus, intense market competition and price wars among vendors is an emerging trend in the Global Terrestrial Optics market.''

M2 - Wed Mar 12, 4:58AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jr8453/global_network) has announced the addition of the "Concise Anlaysis of the International Network Outsourcing Market - Forecasts to 2016" report to their offering. The main trend witnessed by the Global Network Outsourcing market is the increase in end-to-end solutions from the vendors. There would be increased focus on the entire process by network operators and not the specific tasks. The network operators would like to invest in the entire suite of diverse processes such as the order entry, circuit design, customer care, and telecom expense management instead of having separate outsourcing providers for individual tasks or projects. The outsourcing providers would bring all their expertise and six sigma approaches in providing end-to-end solutions. According to the report, the major factor which is driving the market is the growing focus towards increasing profitability by the service providers. Network outsourcing is extremely beneficial in reducing the expenses as the service providers need not invest heavily in resources or in hiring new employees for new telecom network infrastructure. Further, the report states that the major challenge faced by the Global Network Outsourcing market is the minimal adoption of network outsourcing by the network operators in the US. There are huge and highly advanced network operators in the US such as AT&T Co., Verizon Wireless Inc., and Sprint Corp. with strong networks across the country. However, these network operators are investing more on network architecture than investing in network outsourcing. Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2. List of Abbreviations 3. Introduction 4.

M2 - Wed Mar 12, 4:58AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jr8453/global_network) has announced the addition of the "Concise Anlaysis of the International Network Outsourcing Market - Forecasts to 2016" report to their offering. The main trend witnessed by the Global Network Outsourcing market is the increase in end-to-end solutions from the vendors. There would be increased focus on the entire process by network operators and not the specific tasks. The network operators would like to invest in the entire suite of diverse processes such as the order entry, circuit design, customer care, and telecom expense management instead of having separate outsourcing providers for individual tasks or projects. The outsourcing providers would bring all their expertise and six sigma approaches in providing end-to-end solutions. According to the report, the major factor which is driving the market is the growing focus towards increasing profitability by the service providers. Network outsourcing is extremely beneficial in reducing the expenses as the service providers need not invest heavily in resources or in hiring new employees for new telecom network infrastructure. Further, the report states that the major challenge faced by the Global Network Outsourcing market is the minimal adoption of network outsourcing by the network operators in the US. There are huge and highly advanced network operators in the US such as AT&T Co., Verizon Wireless Inc., and Sprint Corp. with strong networks across the country. However, these network operators are investing more on network architecture than investing in network outsourcing. Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2. List of Abbreviations 3. Introduction 4.
