Analyzing and Forecasting 2007 Markets for Transceivers, Transponders and Related Products Operating At 10 Gbps Down To the Lowest SONET/SDH Rates.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c51117) has announced the addition of Transmission Modules 10 Gbps and Below: 2007-Vol 1 to their offering.

While much of the excitement in networking is currently to be found at 40 Gbps and above, most of the money is in the 10 Gbps and below segment. This report analyzes and forecasts the markets for transceivers, transponders and related products operating at 10 Gbps down to the lowest SONET/SDH rates and discusses how the leading firms in this space are planning their product and marketing strategies for the future.

The report examines how new developments in technology, such as optical integration, electronic data compression and new types of media are changing conventional module products and many MSAs have now emerged at the 10 Gbps level. It also covers how changes in networking requirements in the data center, enterprise network and public networks are impacting the design and marketing of optical modules. Finally, the report contains detailed forecasts in value and volume terms with break outs by protocol, reach, application and MSA.
