Highlights from 3Q22 Transport Applications Report:

  • ROADM line card shipments were up 2% from a year earlier despite a -4% revenue decline in the optical market, primarily due to constrained coherent interface shipments. L-band ROADM shipments declined slightly due to Japan’s slowdown in optical hardware spending.
  • Compact Modular sales significantly outperformed the overall optical market this quarter and were up +23% YoY worldwide. Line systems now represent a material portion of Compact Modular revenue.
  • 28% of all ports shipped this quarter were pluggable 400Gbps modules (Gen60C), which are tracking to reach a forecast of more than 200k ports in 2022. Nearly a third of all coherent ports are now shipped directly from component manufacturers directly to service providers.
