Dell’Oro Group Launches Much Anticipated Coverage on the Carrier Ethernet Switch Market
Carrier Ethernet Switch Revenues Grow by 50 Percent
Redwood City, Calif. – September 21, 2006 – Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for information about the telecommunications and networking industries, announced today that it has launched coverage on the Carrier Ethernet Switch market. This new report tracks Ethernet switches that are being used by telecommunications carriers mainly in the access and aggregation portions of their networks.
“Because of our thorough, rigorous, and consistent market research process, we have had multiple requests over the past couple of years to track the Carrier Ethernet Switch market,” said Tam Dell’Oro, President of Dell’Oro Group. “We are pleased today to initiate coverage on the Carrier Ethernet Switch market – coverage that has been prepared with our detailed and accurate analysis developed over the past decade,” Dell’Oro added.
According to the report, Carrier Ethernet Switch market revenues grew 50 percent in the second quarter of 2006 over the year-ago period.
“As the opportunity for Ethernet switch deployments in carrier networks increases, system vendors are attempting to meet the carrier requirements by either adding carrier-grade features to existing product lines or building new products solely targeting this market,” said Seamus Crehan, Senior Director of Carrier Ethernet Switch Research at Dell’Oro Group. “Most of Cisco’s products fall within the former category, while most of Alcatel’s products fall within the latter,” added Crehan.
