| PON Components User Survey: 2008 Market Trends |
|
Worldwide sales of passive optical networking (PON) equipment continue to grow, with Light Reading forecasting sales of Gigabit PON (GPON) equipment alone to reach $4.7 billion by 2011. The cost of PON equipment is also falling, with semiconductor and optical component vendors introducing new products that deliver better performance and greater integration. This is a very competitive market, with ten or more vendors in each components segment, but few vendors can offer complete solutions across the varied PON technologies.
The push for greater bandwidth coming from South Korea, Japan, and other countries is set to shake up the PON market. WDM PON, available from Novera and other vendors, offers 100 Mbit/s per user instead of the 30 Mbit/s to 40 Mbit/s available with GPON or Ethernet PON (EPON). 10-Gigabit Ethernet PON (10GEPON), in development through the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), also offers greater bandwidth, with 10 Gbit/s shared across 16 or 32 subscribers.
This report analyzes current and projected use of PON components by systems vendors. It is based on the results of an exclusive, worldwide survey of engineers, designers, and product managers who work for telecom and networking system equipment manufacturers. Their responses make it clear that PON components from a wide range of companies are used to develop systems.
The survey goes beyond gauging the depth and breadth of PON component usage to include insights into how customers view vendors. The report includes a breakdown of the various PON technologies, including 10-Gbit/s PON, and the vendors that service providers are using for OLT controllers, ONT/ONU controllers, transceiver devices, and optical components. Respondents were also asked which factors were most important to them in choosing these components, as well as how they rate each of the leading vendors for ONT/ONU controllers, transceiver devices, and optical components.
PON Components User Survey: 2008 Market Trends provides critical data and analysis for a range of industry participants, including:
 |
 |
|
Suppliers of PON components who need independent analysis of expected market demand for their products, as well as deeper insight into how their products compare with those of competitors |
|
|
|
Telecom and networking equipment vendors looking for quantitative assessments of how PON equipment will be deployed in the coming months and years |
|
|
|
Investors needing a better understanding of the PON component sector, and which suppliers are best positioned in this market |

|
| The following excerpt shows that performance is clearly the most important factor for selecting PON optical components. Cost is also important, with more than one quarter of respondents giving this as the most important factor. |
