The research study by Technavio on the global optical network hardware market for 2017-2021 provides detailed industry analysis based on communication type (wave division multiplexing (WDM) and synchronous optical networking or synchronous digital hierarchy (SONET/SDH)) and geography (the Americas, EMEA, and APAC).

Wave division multiplexing dominates the global optical network hardware market, generating over 81% of the overall revenue. The dominance is primarily driven by China's investments towards the development of broadband infrastructure, with a focus on 100G fiber-optic internet connections.

Technavio analysts highlight the following three factors that are contributing to the growth of the global optical network hardware market:

  • Growing mobile data traffic
  • High demand for data centers
  • Development of 5G network

Growing mobile data traffic

"The global smartphone and tablet markets have been witnessing impressive growths, leading to a surge inbroadband requirements. Optical fiber infrastructure is being deployed across the globe to meet the demand for high-speed broadband," says Sunil Kumar Singh, one of the lead analysts at Technavio for embedded system research.

Optical fiber networks connect to cell towers where radio-frequency photons are converted to infrared photons to ensure efficient and effective transfer of data to all-fiber networks. The demand for these fiber networks and the hardware associated with it will accelerate over the forecast period, thereby driving market growth.

High demand for data centers

Optical networking is becoming a core part of storage area networking and business connectivity solutions, which is mainly enabled by the wide-scale adoption of data centers. The rise in demand for high bandwidth, low power, and wide reach data centers is pushing for the adoption of new optical modules. The latest data centers require optical fiber modules to connect servers and switches to accommodate the growing data traffic and adoption of cloud solutions. The need for the latest fiber channel speed stops to ensure efficient data management in data centers will drive the demand for optical network hardware.

Development of 5G network

"5G is designed to meet the growing demand for optimized wireless network technology, supporting high-speed data transmission in cellular networks. The technology is still in development phase, with testing underway in countries such as Finland, Russia, and South Korea. This technology is projected to increase internet speed by up to 40 times," says Sunil.

5G's network infrastructure requires low latency, power consumption, and cost, with higher capacity in terms of data transfer. Optical network hardware is a perfect fit for the 5G requirements, creating a massive demand for optical fiber networks and driving the growth of the market.

Day 4, Cisco Live! - The Wrap

Day 4 was the final day of our first ever Cisco Live! We had a great show, with many great conversations and new connections with existing and potential end users, resellers, partners and job hunters.

Day 3, Cisco Live!

Day 3 of Cisco Live is history! For Fiber Mountain, we continued to enjoy visits from decision makers and influencers who were eager to share their data center and structured cabling challenges.

Day 2, Cisco Live!

Tuesday was Day 2 of Cisco Live for Fiber Mountain and we continued to experience high levels of traffic, with many high value decision makers and influencers visiting our booth. One very interesting difference from most conferences I attend is that there are no titles on anyone's show badges. This allows open conversations without people being pretentious. I think this is a very good idea.

Day 1, Cisco Live!

Fiber Mountain is exhibiting at Cisco Live! In Las Vegas for the first time ever! Our first day was hugely successful from just about any perspective - from quantity and quality of booth visitors to successful meetings with customers.
