No Doom and Gloom for DWDM 5/2/2001 By The Insight Research Corporation This article was excerpted from Insight’s new market research study, “DWDM, SONET and Photonics: The Emerging All-Optical Network 2001-2006.” Visit www.insight-corp.com/photonics.html for report details and ordering information, or call 973-605-1400. Table of contents The Internet Development of the All-Optical Network The Market "Despite the big hits being dealt by investors to all segments of the telecommunications industry, we believe that over the next five years the market for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical systems will grow at a 28 percent compounded annual rate." "Many industry participants are still debating whether all-optical network elements will scale to the sizes required by carriers, and whether the technology can be developed to manage a network in the absence of electronic interfaces. All of the optical cross-connects that have been announced are well short of the 1024 x 1024 port capacity needed by carriers (the largest on the market is currently 256 x 256). In fact, there are indications that development on key optical equipment may be slowing. In April 2001, for example, Cisco announced that it would stop making the 15900 Wavelength Router, a product gained from its 1999 acquisition of Monterey Networks. Cisco cited that the optical routing technology was still immature, and that it wanted to focus on its core businesses."
