According to the latest report of Infonetics research company, the global passive optical network (PON) of fourth quarter of 2006 and the whole year of 2006 The chain rate of income from sales of the apparatus increases by 12% and 71%, reach 308 million dollars and 965 million dollars respectively.
The income from sales of BPON apparatus eases up, and EPON and GPON income from sales increases fast, it is predicted, from 2006 to 2010, GPON apparatus income and port production will have compound annual growth of three figures. The selling well of EPON and GPON will continue stimulating the whole PON market to increase, it is predicted, PON market will rise to nearly 2,400 million dollars in 2010.
The analyst Jeff Heynen of Infonetics research company says: “Pushing the fiber optic net to enter their access network in various service commercial cities, in order to support it to video, Network Games, peer-to-peer network and applied demand of reinforcing type of other bandwidth. The same as Ethernet FTTH, face FTTH and FTTB applied GPON and EPON to still develop, Ethernet FTTH has already become first-selected technology of minor operator of North America and city, urban area and a large number of competition operators of the Europe, Middle East and African area. ”
Report the main point:
• 2006 fiber to the home (FTTH) PON apparatus income increases by 72%, accounts for 60% of the whole market, the optic fibre gets to enterprises (FTTB) The apparatus income increases by 69%, accounts for 40% of the whole market.
• Global Ethernet FTTH apparatus income increased by 58% in 2006, the port production increased by 54%, the former two have the growth rates of two figures every year in 2010.
• In 2006, global PON users doubled and closed and doubled again on a lot of foundation between 2004 and 2005, reach 6,500,000, it is estimated that will exceed 40 million in 2010.
• Global FTTH users increased by 86% in 2006, it is about 7,500,000 households to reach, it is estimated that it is amazing to receive PON FTTH and Ethernet FTTH user’s robust growth, global FTTH users will rise to nearly 47 million in 2010.
• Mitsubishi Company keeps leading with the port market share in the whole world EPON income, Sumitomo Company ranks the second, Fujitsu occupies the third place.
• Tellabs Company keeps leading with the port market share in the whole world BPON income, Hitachi ranks the second, Motorola ranks the third.
