Re: Service Provider Access Spending Stats- Edge and Core(?)
Thread- In a related post, comes these figures from the other end of access spending. REAL figures from the service providers(SP) who do the actual purchasing of the equipment I just broke out in my previous post.
The only confusing part about this, is Infonetics definition of of "Core." It doesn't mean core as we commonly use it. I'm guessing it means the equipment it takes to dump traffic onto the metro rings. But it's only my guess. I consider this somewhat access equipment because it's positioned right at the edge of access networks. At least that's the way I understand it to mean in this case.
Anyway, it's an interesting article because it gives an overview of the broadband equipment and players. And here's an interesting set of stats from the same report:
1Q00 DSLAM Market Share(Worldwide)
1. Alcatel 27%
2. Cisco 22%
3. Other 19%
4. Lucent 13%
5. Copper Mountain 8%
6. Nokia 6%
7. Orckit 5%
