According to a newly published report by market research firm Dell’Oro Group, first quarter 2010 GPON equipment revenues from both optical line terminals and optical networking terminals surpassed EPON revenues for the first time and hit a record level, growing almost 40 percent sequentially and 70 percent over the year ago period.
“GPON growth in the first quarter was largely due to deployments in China,” said Tam Dell’Oro, president of Dell’Oro Group. “China Unicom and China Telecom are deploying both EPON and GPON. China Mobile, which was recently granted permission to deploy broadband and for which GPON is its preferred technology, also contributed to first quarter GPON growth. Other sizeable GPON shipments in the first quarter included those to Korea, Malaysia, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, the UAE, and the US.”
The report shows that Huawei maintained its lead for GPON revenue largely due to being a primary supplier in the China market. Next was Alcatel-Lucent and Voscom, which narrowed the gap with Huawei due to growth of its ONT shipments to North America and EMEA.
Rounding out the top four were Motorola followed closely by Ericsson, which doubled its share mainly due to growth in GPON shipments to China.
I think it is admirable that so much thought goes into the design phase of some systems and development, especially when entering new markets. I am often disappointed in how little effort may be made by product suppliers and seeing your dedication to the improvement of quality in providing technically complex systesm make me very impressed. I always look for new ideas when looking at the various ways I can encourage our developers to improve the sites I am involved in managing such as http://www.mycover.com.au for example. Please feel free to visit the site and offer me your comments. It is through the genuine interchange of information, particularly of a technical nature, that quality is improved for all to benefit.
Can we expect another Q1 increase for the optical line terminals? What happens if you factor our large purchases by China, is htere still an increase.
GPON system sales indeed rise. Most consumers and business establishment appreciates this kind of technology because it is capable of reaching higher bandwidth and higher efficiency using larger, variable-length packets.
I think optical networking terminals surpassed EPON revenues due to China’s deployment. They should have prevent it in the first place.
That’s impressive growth, I was in China back in 2004 and back then I knew that GPON were really going places!
Hope they continue to produce impressive sales figures.
