Dittberner Forecasts Worldwide Multiservice WAN Carrier Switch Market
to Reach US$18.2 Billion in 2008
The Worldwide Multiservice
WAN Carrier Switch Market will Progress
at a CAGR of 26% from 2001 to 2008.
Washington, D.C.- March
18, 2002 - According to its newly released
report titled "High Performance Routers
and Multiservice Switches for Public Networks,"
Dittberner Associates finds that the worldwide
carrier multiservice WAN switch market
will increase from US$3.76 billion in
2001 to US$18.2 billion in 2008.
Furthermore, Dittberner forecasts
that the number of carrier WAN switch
/ routers shipped will increase from 24,841
units in 2001 to 82,157 in 2008. These
figures were drawn from Dittberner's exhaustive
analyses of potential growth in revenues
and shipment of packet-based WAN switches
and routers through the year 2008.
Donald
Dittberner, editor-in-chief and President
of Dittberner, maintains that the "multiservice
WAN switching market will be less affected
by carriers' future CAPEX reductions primarily
because service providers are constantly
looking to expand and increase their portfolio
of services off a common platform."
He claims that "this market segment
will benefit from carriers looking to
replace older ATM / Frame Relay switches,
as well as their prospective migration
to more complex IP / ATM / MPLS integrated
networks."
