POF Top 10
The plastic optical fiber (POF) data business is going through a period of extraordinary growth driven by the automotive manufacturers in Europe and by new technology development. Industrial controls and medical applications continue to be the bedrock of the industry, and they, too, are experiencing healthy growth. Unlike the telecommunications field, the POF business covers many industries and is not as vulnerable to industry downturns.

US Cellular Report Banner
The popular vision of the mobile industry (beyond the devices) is one of cell towers, but the backbone of the industry is backhaul! Backhaul is the connection of every cell site to the network. Without backhaul, the cell sites are useless.

US Cellular Report Banner
This is the report that has it all about the US cellular industry. It not only provides overviews of current statistics, architecture descriptions and histories, and current comparisons, but its centerpieces of each major section are forecasts through 2019. There are forecasts for traffic, for active devices, for average Busy Hour traffic per device, for devices and traffic by carrier. There are also forecasts for device sales (very different from active devices) and for operating systems sales. Every forecast is also accompanied by an exhaustive analysis.

Network Traffic Forecast  and Analysis
This report provides the reader with a forecast for Network Traffic for the next several years, but more importantly, it will also explore the industry and consumer patterns that are driving that traffic.The report provides hard data traffic forecasts by all sources of traffic on the network and will use those source forecasts to build composite forecasts.

Telecom Network Bust
The industry is rapidly moving from wireline based to wireless. However, wireline continues to provide the infrastructure for the entirety. Wireline revenue, which supports wireline investment, which is the infrastructure for wireless, is falling substantially. The new Advanced Architecture services (FiOS and Uverse) are great successes, in terms of total impact, but they are not enough to stop the erosion of wireline revenues. What's more, it appears that these services are growing at a much slower rate, and in fact are in decline.

POF Top 10
This report asks if Google is a threat to Telecom. By threat, of course, we mean competitive threat. The simple answer to this question is “YES!” As with many simple answers to complex questions, this leaves a lot unsaid. Some of what is unsaid would include questions as to the existence of a market to even be concerned about – surely Google doesn’t want to compete for the traditional wireline market, which appears to be dying. Would Google like to compete in the broadband market?

Understanding network traffic is fundamental to any marketing or business plan. This new report, “North American Network Traffic Forecast 2011,” by the Lightwave Report Series author, Clifford Holliday, provides detailed telecommunications forecasts for North America thorough 2016. It is our first traffic forecast report since Mr. Holliday’s 2006 report on this subject. That 2006 report became an instant industry classic, setting the standard for traffic forecasts for many years.

The Verizon FiOS/AT&T U-verse story has been an engineering and capital expenditure story for several years; now it is a marketing story. Verizon has what is arguably a superior product, at least in terms of bandwidth delivery, and Verizon has achieved a 3:2 dominance in the market over AT&T. However, in the last three quarters, AT&T has been outselling FiOS by substantial (35%-40%) margins. Why is this happening? This report will look in to some of the marketing differences to seek the answers. It will also explore the many other differences between theses two services.

The forecasts included herein detail that expansion.

ROADM Components - One of the first reports to ever cover components for Edge ROADMs – includes application descriptions; quantity, price and market forecasts; Vendors; and technologies.
