Digital Loop Carrier Market Forecast Analysis Indicates that Markets at $2.9 Billion in 2005 are Anticipated to Reach $10.7 Billion by 2012.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c33670) has announced the addition of Digital Loop Carrier Market Opportunities, Strategies, and Forecasts, 2006 To 2012 to their offering

Digital loop carriers are used to implement broadband and narrowband at the edge of the network. DSL is a primary broadband technology. Growth drivers for DSL technology relate to the NGN applications evolving: The demand for bandwidth and faster connection speeds in consumer as well as corporate domain is a strong growth driver for the DSL market. Demand for Internet services, need for improved copper line conditions, need to extend reach of copper lines, and increases in network traffic are major market driving forces. The need for secured point-to-point service has also led to a growth in DSL service. This has helped in eliminating security issues as well latency limitations due to bandwidth being shared. The Internet is poised to spin off thousands of specialized broadband services. The access network needs digital loop carriers that provide the platform for delivery of these services. These services can be delivered over copper or fiber.

Digital loop carriers are close to the edge of the network and intersect the communications backbone network at the neighborhood. They are geared to manage large volumes of different types of voice, Internet, data, video, conferencing, and audio services from the wire network, fiber, coax, or copper.

DLCs permit co-location of a gateway at the central office, and deployment of services to customers from nodes on the network. Just as long distance access charges promise to evaporate, to go away, a new type of competitive, NGDLC local loop access charge is evolving, giving a presence in every neighborhood node.

Digital Loop Carrier market forecast analysis indicates that markets at $2.9 billion in 2005 are anticipated to reach $10.7 billion by 2012. The value of the DLC is that it is a hardened box that sits in neighborhood locations and ties different access technologies to a common network. In this respect the purpose of the DLC will change significantly from 2005 to 2012 as the units are used to support broadband services delivery.
