Worldwide Ethernet Access Demarcation Devices 2009-2013 Forecast: Ethernet Access in the First Mile

This IDC study presents our current forecast of the worldwide Ethernet access device (EAD) market. Ethernet access device is a last-mile technology that provides demarcation between the carriers' network (WAN) and a customer's network (LAN). EADs provide a bridge between these two networks and enable the provisioning of Ethernet services from the service provider core all the way to the customer premises.

Key questions answered include:

What is the Ethernet access equipment revenue opportunity through 2013? Which geographic regions will grow the fastest? Which vendor dominates this market?

"The worldwide market for EADs will grow from $305.7 million in 2008 to $739.3 million by 2013. The strongest overall spending will come from the markets in Asia/Pacific, which accounted for 78% of worldwide EAD revenue." - David Emberley, research manager, Telecom Equipment This book may contain less than 24 pages of technical content.
