CAMPBELL, California, October 8, 2007—Worldwide PON equipment sales, including, BPON, EPON, and GPON, sequentially grew 3% in the second quarter of 2007, reaching $396 million, says Infonetics Research in its PON and FTTH Equipment and Subscribers report.
“The 2 biggest trends in the PON market right now are early M&A activity in the GPON market amidst a lot of smaller vendors chasing a limited market in this space, and PON component suppliers aggressively reducing costs at the request of equipment manufacturers. The component price slashing will result in a 33% drop in the price of GPON ONTs over the next 2 years,” said Jeff Heynen, directing analyst at Infonetics Research.
Other report highlights:
- Asia Pacific’s share of worldwide PON revenue will decline rapidly starting in 2008 as Verizon, AT&T, France Telecom, and Telefonica GPON deployments hit volume, but will still lead regional share overall, followed by North America, then EMEA
- Tellabs maintains its strong lead in BPON revenue market share in 2Q07, with 85%; the 2 closest competitors are Motorola and Hitachi
- Mitsubishi leads in the EPON market, followed by Sumitomo
- After 5 quarters of high double-digit sequential gains, sales of worldwide Ethernet FTTH equipment increased 9% in 2Q07, hitting $88 million
