DWDM Presents Bright Future for Networking.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 27, 2000 The days when a business, be it big or small, will require a phone network for voice applications alone are fleeting, according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Cahners In-Stat Group. Given this, the high-tech market research firm sees optical networks as the solution for the New World business strategy. Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (spelling) wave division multiplexing - A common misnomer for wavelength division multiplexing. (DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing ) systems are the required, capacity-enabling applications for these optical networks, and as the Internet Service Provider Internet service provider (ISP) Company that provides Internet connections and services to individuals and organizations. For a monthly fee, ISPs provide computer users with a connection to their site (see data transmission), as well as a log-in name and password. (ISP (1) See in-system programmable. (2) (Internet Service Provider) An organization that provides access to the Internet. Connection to the user is provided via dial-up, ISDN, cable, DSL and T1/T3 lines. )-driven, e-commerce economy continues to expand, DWDM market revenue is projected to hit $21.5 billion in 2004. In 1999, the DWDM systems market revenue was $4 billion, all of which was attributed to long haul Long distance. Long haul implies traversing a state or a country. Contrast with short haul. applications. However, according to Doug McEuen, industry analyst for In-Stat's Voice and Data Service, "As the market continues to grow, the emergence of metro DWDM systems will begin to support the overall market nearly as much as the long haul market." DWDM is expected to thrive in carrier applications, as the optical network becomes commonplace. Interexchange Carriers (IXCs) and Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers ILEC, short for incumbent local exchange carrier, is a local telephone company in the United States that was in existence at the time of the break up of AT&T into the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) also known as the "Baby Bells". (ILECs) will use DWDM technology to satisfy the growing amount of network traffic attributed to ISPs. As the future of carrier networks continues down the light and fiber path, next generation products and technology will continue to push towards a pure optical network, in which DWDM systems will maintain a long product life. In-Stat also found the following: -- DWDM systems, which transmit multiple light wavelengths simultaneously over the same fiber thread, drastically increase the number of transmissions that can be carried over the fiber thread and are also protocol-independent and have the ability to carry IP, ATM, SONET, etc., while still offering Quality of Service (QoS). -- DWDM systems are currently prominent in long haul applications, but the metro applications market is gaining momentum, as the technology is becoming feasible and affordable. The report, "DWDM Systems: The Bright Future of Networking" (No. TX0004MS), presents an end-user market overview, overall market overview and a market forecast for DWDM systems.
