WDM Market Approaches $1 Billion Quarterly on Strong International Sales

ROADMs Help Scale WDM Networks

Redwood City, Calif. – November 21, 2006 – A newly published report by Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, reveals that sales of WDM equipment continued to grow in the third quarter, reaching almost $900 million, in part on especially strong European region sales that increased 40 percent year-over-year.

“Service Providers are focused on delivering new services, such as broadband and video to the residential market and Ethernet services to the enterprise market. As a result of this global trend, we have noticed increasing interest in WDM systems equipped with Re-configurable optical add/drop multiplexers or ROADMs,” said Shin Umeda, Vice President of Optical Transport research at Dell’Oro Group. “Service providers see ROADM technologies as a way to scale their networks and improve service delivery,” added Umeda.
