Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM)
Market Opportunities, Strategies, and Forecasts, 2006 to 2012

Service provider DWDM relates to systems used in core networks that increase the number of channels transmitted on a fiber optic cable by up to 80 times. Ethernet aggregation routers and switches that revitalize DWDM markets are supplementing transport systems.

Fully non-blocking switching architecture provides bandwidth management capabilities and service modules. These enable high-density service termination without stacking multiple shelves. Optical metro DWDM series portfolios of products are equipped with resilient packet ring technology, generic framing protocol service mapping, and virtual concatenation that enables efficient bandwidth utilization with native rate client data and storage interfaces.

Vendors offer equipment, software and service that allow customers to combine disparate networks that support distinct voice, video or data services, to a more efficient, converged, multiservice communications network. Transport, switching and aggregation products enable network convergence and offer standards-based, software-driven automation of network functionality.

Through the automation of network functionality and convergence are supported equipment. Customers can simplify the construction and management of their communications networks, and improve their operating efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Nortel led DWDM markets with dominant marketing. Nortel Networks is the recognized global DWDM optical Internet leader. Siemens is gthe leader in US markets for long haul. 65 percent of North American and 40 percent of European backbone Internet traffic travels across Nortel optical networking equipment. Other market participants with measurable market share include Alcatel, Huawei, Ciena, NEC, Lucent and ADVA.

Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) growth opportunities relate to supporting broadband implementations of Internet triple play voice data and video services.

Worldwide telecommunications service provider DWDM equipment market forecasts indicate that markets at $4.3 billion in 2005 and are anticipated to reach $8.2 billion in 2012. Continued growth is anticipated as wireline networks are used to provide Internet protocol signal transport.
