REDWOOD CITY, USA: In a newly released forecast report by Dell'Oro Group, the global optical transport equipment revenues are forecast to resume growth in 2010 and approach a market size of $15 billion by 2013.
The report also indicates that 40 Gbps wavelengths will likely account for nearly half of the DWDM long haul capacity shipments in 2013.
“We forecast optical transport equipment revenues to decline slightly more than 10 percent in 2009, but the market should recover in 2010 with increasing consumer demand for faster access speeds in homes and mobile phones,” said Jimmy Yu, Director of Optical Transport research at Dell'Oro Group.
“The optical equipment segments that should return to positive growth first are the metro systems -- WDM metro and SONET/SDH multiplexers. The long haul capacity to support consumer demand is expected to expand with increasing deployments of 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps wavelengths on DWDM long haul systems.
"Even as the overall DWDM long haul market is in a period of a cyclical decline, 40 Gbps wavelength shipments are expected to continue growing and contribute almost half of long haul capacity shipments by 2013,” added Yu.

Nokia Siemens Networks, Juniper to integrate IP and optical technologies
BANGALORE, INDIA: Nokia Siemens Networks and Juniper Networks Inc. are combining their respective strengths in Optical and IP networking to create a solution that brings the two complementary technologies closer together.
The integrated IP-Optical solution will provide operators with a highly flexible, reliable and cost efficient way to scale their networks to manage growing volumes of data, voice and multimedia applications. The scope of cooperation includes the development of cost-optimized 10G, 40G and 100G IP over DWDM solutions with management integration and GMPLS control plane interworking.
“Juniper brings world-class IP routing expertise while Nokia Siemens Networks brings forth world-class Wavelength Division Multiplexing transport technology including operational management systems for both technologies. To have both worlds under one network management roof means the highest possible quality in terms of simplicity and efficiency,” said Uwe Fischer, Head of DWDM Business Line at Nokia Siemens Networks.
“As carriers consolidate their IP and DWDM environments to ensure cost efficient growth, our solution will form the bedrock of the vision that breaks the barriers between optical and electrical layers.”
”As trends such as video, virtualization and cloud computing continue to drive the need for core networking capacity, operators will be looking for ways to scale their networks efficiently and cost-effectively,” said Opher Kahane, senior vice president and general manager, High-End Systems Business Unit, Juniper Networks.
“The combination of IP and optical transport technologies increase the efficiency of the network, and we are very excited to be working with Nokia Siemens Networks to bring this innovative solution to market.”
The implementation of long-haul DWDM optics on router line interface cards will increase network efficiency by reducing the need for redundant transponders, but can present network management challenges because IP and optical networks are traditionally managed separately. To address these concerns, Nokia Siemens Networks and Juniper are creating an innovative solution which manages the entire router–to-optical link as a single entity.
Using Juniper’s T Series Core Routers, the router-integrated optical DWDM interfaces will interoperate seamlessly with Nokia Siemens Networks’ hiT7300 WDM platform and be managed by the company’s carrier grade Transport Network Management System (TNMS).
Complemented by Nokia Siemens Networks’ unique network planning software, TransNet, the joint solution will improve overall efficiency in the network. In addition, the operator will be able to enjoy faster service provisioning times as only one DWDM interface will need to be installed and configured, not to mention improved reliability through early link failure detection, enhanced troubleshooting and overall simplicity.

Telecom enhances globalization in every possible way!
Is it any other way, apart from this? I was quite surprised on being asked whether telecom growth somehow blocked globalization! Quite the opposite!!
Take the Indian telecom industry for instance! Those who have followed the Indian telecom closely -- right from the days of C-DoT developing 256-switch RAX, down to the introduction of mobile phones -- after massive overbidding by folks such as HFCL in 1994, to the introduction of the Internet in India -- on the eve of India's independence day in 1994 -- the growth of satellite communications in the country in the mid and late nineties -- remember DAMA? -- to, to the introduction of CDMA in the early 2000s, to the great proliferation of mobile phones that we see around us now!
Does any of this indicate India has not been able to globalize?
When C-DoT had introduced RAX in the late 1980s, it really brought about a telecom revolution. Today, we don't talk of C-DoT in the glowing terms that it really deserves. Who would have ever imagined that mobile phones would take off the way they have done now! And well, we just can't survive without the email and the Internet!
Let's trace the global telecom history from the late 1980s. When AMPS gave way to GSM, you had the feature called roaming! People wondered what they would do with this feature? Today, we complain, if we can't roam!
ARIB, Japan, had visited India in early 1994, to try and sell PHS. In those days, PHS and DECT were the hot WiLL technologies. Later, Japan, thanks to Takeshi Natsuno and NTT DoCoMO, saw the advent of i-mode, and well, it indicated the first signs of what mobile Internet would really do!
Pages and pages were rolled out screaming "WAP is CRAP"! Now, all phones are WAP enabled and no one says a word! We love to surf on the mobile phone now, isn't it? What about all those MMS messages, including the sleazy ones? You can do mobile blogging now, can't you? Also, update your Twitter!
In optical networking, in the early nineties, PDH gave way to SDH! We later saw the advent of DWDM and also VCSELs. With the advent of 3G in the late nineties, we discovered W-CDMA. China came up with TD-SCDMA, another 3G technology. For some time, LAS-CDMA tried to make its mark, then I don't know what happened to it!
How many of you know that a simple SMS led to the famous second people power revolution in the Phillipines in early 2001, a peaceful revolution that overthrew Philippine President Joseph (Erap) Estrada!
Why, I still remember, during a spot survey at a Frost & Sullivan's telecom conference in Singapore in 2001, I was one among the three who used the mobile phone to check my Yahoo mails. I received such stares Today, we can't stop talking about Blackberry and iPhone! In Hong Kong, in the early 2000s, I used my Siemens WAP phone to locate Indian restaurants! When Nokia added GPS via HS-CSD in Hong Kong's Citybus in 2000, it was sensational! Today, we talk about LBS and GPS, and all that!
I can go on and on with such anecdotes! If there was no telecom, the world would not have progressed in the manner it has done now. Still having doubts?

Fujitsu no. 1 in key North American optical markets: Ovum
RICHARDSON, USA: Fujitsu Network Communications announced that according to data from Ovum, Fujitsu has strengthened its top position in Aggregation (MSPPs/OEDs) and achieved market leadership for Metro WDM and ROADM in North America for 2008. Together, these sectors comprise nearly 60 percent of the $4.7B optical networking market.
“By continuing to make substantial inroads at major carriers and becoming the #1 metro WDM and ROADM vendor in North America, Fujitsu is clearly the leader in 2008,” said Ron Kline, Research Director of Optical Networks: North America at Ovum. "The company posted its fifth consecutive year of growth and outperformed the market, with 2008 revenues rising 14 percent as compared to a market decline of 4 percent. Fujitsu increased its North American overall optical networking share by nearly 2.5 points, capitalizing on metro network growth and its strong incumbent positions with Tier 1 carriers, which drove metro ROADM and MSPP/OED sales."
Ovum segregates the North American optical networking market into four main segments -— Aggregation, Bandwidth management (DCS/OCS), Metro WDM, and Backbone DWDM.
Aggregation, which includes legacy ADMs, MSPPs/ OEDs, and converged non-ROADM Packet Optical systems, is the largest segment and accounts for nearly 30 percent ($1,395M) of the overall $4.7B optical networking market in North America. Fujitsu has been the leading Aggregation equipment supplier every year since Ovum began measuring this market in 2002. In 2008 the company increased its share in this segment by nearly 3 points to 31.5 percent, which is more than 10 percentage points higher than its closest competitor.
The Metro WDM segment, includes ROADM and non-ROADM DWDM equipment deployed in metropolitan and regional applications. North American spending on Metro WDM equipment in 2008 increased 11 percent year-over-year, reaching $1,358M. Ovum believes that metro WDM will become the largest North American optical networking segment in 2009. Fujitsu's metro WDM revenue grew 77 percent on strong sales of its FLASHWAVE 7500 platform, which far outpaced 2008 market growth of 11 percent. Consequently, its metro WDM market share rose nearly 8 points to 21.4 percent and placed Fujitsu in the #1 market position.
At $793M, the ROADM market is now 58 percent of the total metro WDM spending and 17 percent of the total optical networking spending, up from 14 percent in 2007. Fujitsu has 32.9 percent of the ROADM market and became the market leader with a share change of 11 points versus its nearest competitor, which gained 1 point.
“Despite the challenging economic environment, Tier 1 and Tier 2 carriers, as well as Cable/MSOs, CLECs and Enterprise customers continue to rely on Fujitsu to meet their optical networking solutions needs,” said Doug Moore, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Fujitsu Network Communications. “Fujitsu offers the right combination of market-leading MSPP and ROADM products, along with experienced employees and financial strength that position Fujitsu to continue to grow our share of the optical networking market.”
Fujitsu controls 15.5 percent of the overall optical networking market in North America. The company participates in the two largest segments, Aggregation and Metro WDM, and has the #1 market position with a 26 percent share in this combined $2,753M sector.
