Abstract

Turbulent changes in the market for fiber optic telecommunications have driven unprecedented levels of development in optical components followed by unprecedented lack of consistent orders. In this environment, evaluating opportunities for optical components can no longer be done on the basis of price/performance alone. Impacts on manufacturing flow, inventory, and system modularity can all improve a given component's prospects. Continuing changes in the service provider and system vendor landscape will create new opportunities but demand as much business agility as technical innovation. The views here reflect market analysis centered on high performance dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) components and high-speed SONET/SDH and 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, and their use in the public network.
