- The Dell’oro group publishes the latest report on 5 years of high speed and home networking forecasts at 5 years
- Among its results, there was the subject of Chinese telecommunications on FTTR deployments (room fiber) and 50 Gbit / s
- 50g is a relatively new technology, and I was surprised by the speed at which it takes place
China increases its wide-band infrastructure with its deployment of 50 G-Pon, a new generation fiber technology capable of providing speeds of up to 50 Gbit / s (50,000 Mbps) downstream.
A newly published report by Dell’oro Group, which collects information from conversations with equipment suppliers and notifications for publicly published tenders, projects that Pon equipment revenues will pass 10, $ 5 billion in 2024 to 12.1 billion dollars by 2029.
Although this growth is largely driven by XGS-Pon deployments of 10 Gbit / s in North America, EMEA and CALA, Chinese deployments 50g -on place it in front of the rest of the world. Last year, OMDIA planned that China will be the only commercial market for 50g-pon in 2024 and 2025, representing 93% of the world market and generating $ 1.55 billion in revenues by 2027.
Room fiber
Pon, or passive optical network, is an optical fiber technology that allows several users to share a single fiber connection using passive optical separators. This design reduces the need for active electronic components between the supplier and end users, reduction in infrastructure costs, reduction in energy consumption and improving network efficiency.
The standard of 50g -on uit-t supports the theoretical speeds up to 50 gbit / s downstream and up to 25 gbit / g access all GBPS optics.
Beyond 50g-pon, China also extends fiber to the room (FTTR), which extends the connectivity of optical fibers to individual parts in houses and businesses. Unlike traditional configurations of home fibers (FTTH), which generally provide fibers to a central modem, then rely on Ethernet or Wi-Fi for distribution, the FTTR provides optical fiber cables directly in each room, ensuring Faster speeds, lower latency and more stable connections.
The other protruding facts of the Dell’oro group report understand that revenues from the access equipment distributed per cable will reach $ 1.3 billion in 2028 while operators continue DocSis 4.0 and deployments of early fibers.
The fixed wireless CPE should reach its highest income in 2025 and 2026, driven by 5 g units of sub6 GHz and millimeters, while the Wi-Fi 7 residential routers and the wide-band CPE with WLAN should generate $ 8.9 billion by 2029 as adoption increases among consumers and service providers.
“Threesome, large-band access networks evolve towards large-scale edge calculation platforms, with the possibility of allowing the convergence of services much faster and more easily than ever,” said Jeff Heynen, vice vice -Pres -president of Dell’oro Group.
“This development means that the mixture of income for wide -band equipment is moved over the next five years, expenses in traditional hardware and software is now supplemented by IA expenses and automatic learning tools to facilitate the convergence and reliability of services. “
