Market research firm Infonetics Research has released excerpts from its report on likely demand for and recent sales of 10G/40G/100G optical transceivers.
The full report details market size and forecasts sales of multi-gigabit optical transceivers into the optical transport, enterprise, data center, broadband access, and carrier routing and switching markets.
Andrew Schmitt, principal analyst for optical technologies at Infonetics Research, says, “It appears that 2012 was the peak sales year for 40G WDM, but QSFP-based enterprise applications continue to ramp nicely.”
“100G optical transceivers arrived in force in 2012, with virtually every vendor fielding a solution. Though the market is nascent and the growth rate will slow, coherent 100G shipments are on track to more than double in 2013 and again in 2014,” expects .
