Robust growth for GPON, VDSL, Cable CMTS,
and EPON equipments
Dell'Oro Group has reported that revenues from Access equipment
that enables operators to deliver new revenue-generating,
bandwidth intensive services to subscribers are forecast
to have the highest growth rates over the next five years.
The report indicates that the sales growth over the next
five years will be the most robust for GPON equipment, followed
by VDSL, Cable CMTS, and then EPON.
"We expect China to continue to be a major market
driver for both EPON and GPON over the next five years,
and have increased our annual PON revenue forecast relative
to our previous forecast largely due to higher demand projections
for China," said Tam Dell'Oro, Founder of Dell'Oro
Group. "We also believe that GPON will be the PON technology
of choice for operators outside of Asia as well as many
within Asia, and we expect the number and size of GPON deployments
to increase over the next several years, aided in part by
various governments' broadband incentive programs,"
added Dell'Oro.
The report also indicates that the total Access market
revenue is forecast to grow in the low single digits this
year, after an 11 percent decline in 2009.
