Market Segment Profile: Carrier Ethernet published by Ovum, Ltd. in September, 2009. This report consists of 32 pages and the price starts from US $ 2495.
Abstract
The carrier Ethernet application segment addresses a wide set of carrier needs
that require capabilities available on products that fall within traditional
switching and routing, wired and wireline access, and optical networking
technology segments. Carrier Ethernet spending is growing solidly and will
continue to do so through 2014, driven by the growth in bandwidth requirements
in the metro that comes with triple-play and 3G/4G wireless builds, the
rollout of E-Line and E-LAN Ethernet services, and the associated need for
both highly scalable and low latency solutions. In this report, Ovum
investigates network trends, applications, and competition in the carrier
Ethernet application segment.
