Passive Optical Network (PON) Vendors to Capitalize on Growing Need for Higher Bandwidth, GPON To Be The Future
Passive optical network (PON) is a fiber to the premises (FTTP)
network structure. The goal of the network is to provide a solution
which is easy to install, maintain and upgrade. This is done by using
optical splitters in PON which enables a single fiber to deliver
services to multiple premises. PON comprises an optical line terminal
at the site of the service provider and numerous optical network
units near end users. It is considered an eco-friendly alternative
vis-Ã -vis conventional network, due to usage of unpowered optical
splitters.
GPON devices provide high-speed video, data and voice services to
residential and business subscribers. Reliability and long-reach
connectivity further strengthens the extremely high bandwidth of GPON
technology. It also reduces the number of active switching devices
implemented in a computer network. Moreover, GPON has been a major
advancement for defense services, primarily due to advanced security
and high bandwidth provided by the network.

About 80% of the PON equipment
revenue generated in 2014 was taken up by Huawei Technologies Co.,
Ltd., ZTE Corporation, Alcatel-Lucent S.A., and Calix, Inc, reports
Transparency Market Research (TMR) in a new study. These companies
have consistently dominated the PON equipment scenario, thus creating
a highly consolidated market.
Most of the key players are
currently looking towards emerging economies for the implementation
of better connectivity solutions. Other aspects they are promoting
are cost reductions in deployment and the growth of access networks
for better revenue generation avenues.
TMR states that a lot of the player
focus is also driven towards GPON equipment because the GPON
structure presents several advantages over the EPON structure as well
as multiprotocol transport support. EPON technology, however, still
offers a more cost-effective solution for many regional players in
emerging economies.
APAC Holds Key Opportunities in PON Equipment Through Improved
Connectivity Initiatives
“Asia Pacific is currently a
hotbed of activities in networking and connectivity,” states a TMR
analyst. “China and India especially are showing a very high demand
for passive optical networks. India for instance is planning to
introduce OFC connectivity between all its villages. The spread of
dark fiber across the Indian network is set to generate significant
opportunities for regional and global players alike.”
China is currently going through a
very high adoption rate of electronic devices, thereby creating high
volumes of data being transmitted across networks. This high volume
data traffic is actually causing users to switch from their currently
wireless modes to wired – specifically optically wired –
networks.
APAC PON Demand at All-time High, will Continue to Grow
The global passive optical network
(PON) equipment revenue generation is expected to progress at a
highly positive CAGR of 20.7% within a forecast period from 2015 to
2023. The revenue is expected to reach US$163.50 bn by the end of
2023.
WDM/WDDM is currently the largest
PON equipment component and is expected to generate a revenue of
US$78 bn by the end of 2023 while still retaining its market
leadership. Both GPON and EPON structures are expected to grow at an
extremely fast rate with GPON being the more preferred structure. It
is expected to reach US$114.84 bn by the end of 2023.
The information presented in this
review is based on a Transparency Market Research report, titled,
“Passive Optical Network (PON) Equipment Market - Global Industry
Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 – 2023.”
Asia Pacific will consistently
generate the highest demand for PON equipment between 2016 and 2023.
By the end of 2023, it is expected to reach US$63.01 bn, marking
itself as the region with the most opportunities.
Key Takeaways:
- Asia Pacific PON revenue expected to reach a sizeable US$63.01 bn by 2023.
- GPON revenue expected to be more than twice that of EPON, to reach US$114.84 bn by 2023.
- Heavy preference for WDM/WDDM expected to set its revenue on track to touch US$78 bn by 2023.
