Report Information
| Report Information | |||
| Summary | This report tracks optical and packet transport equipment spending by end customer market type. We collect shipment information and guidance directly from individual equipment companies each quarter, and allocate each company’s revenue according to each end market. Forecasts are based on expected spending trends by customer market on a regional basis. | ||
| Methodology | All revenue shipped to a given network operator is classified as a single category. For example, all revenue shipped by Ciena to AT&T, or Nokia to Telefonica is classified as Incumbent revenue. Individual customers are listed in each of the end market categories. This approach reduces subjectivity, as vendors do not know what application equipment assumes when it is shipped to a given customer. The results provide a more accurate estimate of how much equipment is purchased from each end customer market. | ||
| Market Size and Share | Report includes revenue based market size for all end customer markets in all regions, as well as equipment vendor market share per market. | ||
| Deliverables | Excel file with complete data set, quarterly Powerpoint summary, and Transport Equipment Active Insight, including a detailed summary of market performance for the report period. | ||
| Forecast | 5 Years with annual market size totals. No market share forecasts. | ||
