International MTU Market Recovering, But Not Uniformly Reports In-Stat/MDR.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 14, 2003 The MTU (1) (Maximum Transmission Unit, Maximum Transfer Unit) The largest frame size that can be transmitted over the network. For example, an Ethernet MTU is 1,500 bytes. Messages longer than the MTU must be divided into smaller frames. market is beginning to recover, at least in some regions of the world, 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. In-Stat/MDR (http://www.instat.com). The high-tech market research firm reports that even though the volume of MTU ports shipped continues to be low compared to the total DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary or cable modem cable modem Modem used to convert analog data signals to digital form and vise versa, for transmission or receipt over cable television lines, especially for connecting to the Internet. market, the concept of using an in-building distribution system to deliver broadband services See broadband and broadband service provider. to an MTU property is again being positively recognized. "Currently MTU typically consists of less than 5 percent of most non-MTU specific equipment vendors port shipments," said Amy Cravens, a senior analyst with In-Stat/MDR. "However, the majority of vendors expect that MTU port shipments will increase over the next several years. They also anticipate seeing an evolution in this market to higher bandwidth services, principally VDSL See DSL. VDSL - Very high bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line and some pure Ethernet solutions." In-Stat/MDR expects that MTU-related equipment (aggregator and CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) Communications equipment that resides on the customer's premises. CPE - Customer Premises Equipment devices shipped to the MTU) revenues will grow from U.S. $144 million in 2002 to U.S. $1.7 billion in 2007. Related service (data services deployed through an in-building architecture) revenues are expected to experience even more dramatic growth, moving from a U.S. $338 million market worldwide in 2002 to a U.S. $8.0 billion market in 2007. While the general outlook on MTU is improving, the developing MTU potential is not uniform across regions. In-Stat/MDR found the following regional trends: -- The North American North American named after North America. North American blastomycosis see North American blastomycosis. North American cattle tick see boophilusannulatus. market continues to be somewhat lackluster in performance, with relatively few deployments in the MTU market. Broadband providers and equipment vendors are finding related applications for MTU solution design, however, such as hotel broadband, military housing and corporate campus deployments. -- The European market has historically lagged behind North America and Asia Pacific, however, it is gaining steam as competitive providers leverage MTU solutions as a means to compete with the PTTs (Post Telegraph and Telephone). -- The Asia Pacific market continues to be the real strength behind the MTU. In this region, the dominant, traditional providers, in many instances, have adopted the in-building strategy. Asia Pacific is the largest MTU market and will continue to be so through 2007. The report, "From Decline to Growth: The Resurgence of the International MTU Market???" (#IN030658MU), examines the types of hardware solutions being implemented in the MTU, and how this mix of solutions has shifted over the past several years. Furthermore, the report provides detailed analysis on the regional trends in MTU deployment, with particular emphasis on the Asia Pacific market. Finally, equipment and revenue forecasts are provided, 2002-2007. Forecasts are segmented by MTU vertical, MCU (1) (MicroController Unit) A computer on a single chip. See microcontroller. (2) (Multipoint Control Unit) A device that is used to moderate a videoconference of three or more end points (users at computers or groups of users or MDU (1) (Multiple Dwelling Unit) A commercial or residential building with multiple offices or apartments. See BLEC. (2) (Multiply-Divide Unit) A high-speed circuit that performs multiplication and division within the CPU. , and by geographic region.
