| NOTAS: | "Ovum is projecting the optical networks (ON) market will exceed $17bn by 2018, for a 2.7% CAGR from 2012. Ovum is calling for 2013 to be an up year, with many positive 2012 trends carrying into 2013. All ON market regions are projected to resume growth in 2013. 100G shipments will continue to grow strongly in 2013. 40G shipments were strong in 2012 and will maintain that momentum into 2013, even as 100G enters mass deployment. Data center building, occurring in urban and in more remote areas, will be an ongoing catalyst for network footprint extension and capacity growth. TDM aggregation continues to decline as access architectures evolve to higher-capacity WDM and packet-based systems." |
