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.

MRV debuts LambdaDriver WDM optical channel monitor card
CHATSWORTH, USA: MRV Communications Inc. announced a new optical channel monitor (OCM) module for its LambdaDriver optical transport system to provide continuous optical spectrum analysis services for wave division multiplexed (WDM) backbone networks.
MRV is a leading networking company with a full line of packet-optical transport (POTS), carrier Ethernet, 40G networking and out-of-band networking products.
The OCM is an in-service monitoring module that is installed at strategic points in the network to monitor and measure DWDM wavelengths. The module can identify the discrete DWDM wavelengths and provide detailed information about optical power and optical signal noise ratio (OSNR) levels. The acquired information is stored in the module and provided to the management card for user examination and analysis.
This is an important addition for network operators who currently use optical spectrum analyzers (OSA) to check the network status. Manually connected OSAs require specialized personnel to travel to remote network locations to connect to the fiber point to analyze the quality of the optical signals.
Using the OCM from MRV, network operators can install the module in the LambdaDriver system and manage the network remotely. The OCM helps operators with troubleshooting and provides a very rapid response because the analysis solution is already in place when needed. With this new module, the LambdaDriver series now provides much more visibility on the network itself to help operators manage their services.
“The OSNR is the most important input in determining signal quality and resolving network issues, but manual testing processes make this information difficult and costly to obtain,” said Noam Lotan, president and CEO of MRV Communications. “For many LambdaDriver customers, the new OCM is a much lower cost solution than spectrum analyzers and will save them operating costs on an ongoing basis thanks to the ability to manage the network remotely.”
The OCM module is hot swappable and provides 50GHz channel spacing monitoring. OCM modules are available immediately from MRV’s sales force or its worldwide distribution channel.
