In a recently released report the Analysists of CIR revisit the evolution of networking beyond today’s 10 GigE and OC-768 thresholds. There is a real momentum towards achieving 100 Gbps capabilities, with an interim 40 Gbps Ethernet that technologically viable even now. Major standards efforts are underway at the IEEE. Vendors are scrambling to define their product roadmaps. The trade press is pushing out articles. Suddenly it looks like 2001 all over again when OC-768 was all the rage.
In late 2000 it it looked like the OC-768 market would require several years to develop. Here in 2008 it is only now that vendors are achieving even modest volumes. So what does this mean for the 100/40 Gbps Ethernet market today? Is there a real opportunity here any time soon? Should the industry really care? Should we expect to see any significant developments in the next few years that will reflect significant revenue opportunities or will we see a repeat of the slow and somewhat frustrating process that defined OC-768.
In this new report CIR address all of these questions as well as providing new analysis and forecasting of the opportunities for lasers, TOSAs, ROSAs, transceivers, multiplexers, cabling, amplifiers, WDM components and many other products that are emerging as the data communications industry gets ready for 100 Gbps and 40 Gbps Ethernets. Both optical networking components and networking silicon will be discussed and in the context of how this market will affect both established vendors and potential new entrants.
