Campbell, CALIFORNIA, March 12, 2009—Market research firm Infonetics Research released the fourth quarter (4Q08) edition of its PON and FTTH Equipment and Subscribers report this week. Highlights follow.
“The PON vendor landscape got interesting in the fourth quarter of 2008, with Alcatel-Lucent, Motorola, and Tellabs each grabbing 10% of worldwide revenue share, behind perennial leader Mitsubishi and the now number-two player, Fiberhome. In the fast-growing GPON segment, front-runner Alcatel-Lucent is being seriously challenged by Motorola, which increased its quarterly GPON revenue share 5 points in 4Q08. Meanwhile, the EPON segment, long dominated by Mitsubishi and Hitachi, is seeing some action as Sumitomo, Fiberhome, and Dasan Networks all moved up.”

MARKET RESEARCH REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
- Year-over-year, worldwide PON OLT and ONT manufacturer revenue (including BPON, EPON, GPON, and WDM-PON) is up 38%, led by the fast growing GPON and EPON segments
- Worldwide PON manufacturer revenue remained stable at $564 million in 4Q08, after a 24% growth spurt in 3Q08
- Flat spending overall in 4Q08 reflects a slight pause in GPON network buildouts outside the US but continued growth of EPON-based FTTH and FTTB deployments in Japan, South Korea, and China
- PON manufacturer revenue is forecast to grow at a rapid compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23% between 2008 and 2013, as the shift from copper- to fiber-based broadband access drives growth in this market around the world
- The PON and Ethernet FTTH equipment market continues to be one of the most dynamic in the world, with operators around the globe prioritizing deep fiber deployments to stem the loss of copper-based access lines, reduce opex, and increase revenue via premium broadband, IPTV, online gaming, and femtocells
- The current economic climate is expected to have a minimal impact on FTTH equipment spending because it remains a top strategic priority at those operators who have committed to it
