Dell'Oro Group Forecasts Ethernet Switch Market Revenues to Reach $18 Billion in 2009; Major Speed and Feature Transitions to Drive Growth.REDWOOD CITY Redwood City, city (1990 pop. 66,072), seat of San Mateo co., W Calif., on San Francisco Bay; inc. 1868. Manufactures include commmunications, electrical, electronic, and medical equipment. , Calif. -- 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. a recent report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for information about the telecommunications and networking industries, Ethernet Switch A device that connects clients and servers to each other in an Ethernet network. See switched Ethernet. Market revenues are forecasted to grow from $13.6 billion in 2004 to $17.8 billion in 2009. Although the Ethernet Switch market is maturing, with most of the port shipments being driven by upgrades of existing equipment, the report describes a trend toward more feature-rich, higher-speed switches, which will help to offset price declines. The report indicates that some major transitions will be the widespread adoption of Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. by small-and-medium-business, strong growth of 10 Gigabit Ethernet in large enterprise networks, and the adoption of more intelligent switches by all segments of the Ethernet Switch market. "One of the newer segments currently on the verge On the Verge (or The Geography of Yearning) is a play written by Eric Overmyer. It makes extensive use of esoteric language and pop culture references from the late nineteenth century to 1955. of some major changes is 10 Gigabit Ethernet," said Seamus Crehan, Director of Ethernet Switch Research for Dell'Oro Group. "The introduction of new 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces such as CX-4, 10 GE BaseT, and a serial solution for FDDI-grade multimode fiber An optical fiber with a larger core than singlemode fiber. It is the most commonly used fiber for short distances such as LANs. Light can enter the core at different angles, making it easier to connect the light source to broader light sources such as LEDs. , has resulted in numerous new entrants - both component and system vendors --into the Ethernet Switch Market," added Crehan.
