PORTOLA VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 22, 1997--
China Sees Continued Growth in Ethernet (EN) LAN Switches: 3Com, Cisco & Bay Lead
The Dell'Oro Group's 3Q97 Asia/Pacific Region Shared Hub & LAN Switch report reveals high quarter-to-quarter growth in 100 Mbps Shared EN Hubs (+29%) and 100 Mbps Switched EN (+100%), but moderate growth in 100+ Mbps ATM (+4%). 3Q97 Asia/Pacific market share leaders for high speed networking equipment are:
Market 100 Mbps 100 Mbps 100+ Mbps
Share Position Shared EN Switched EN ATM
No. 1 3Com Bay Bay
No. 2 Intel 3Com Cisco
No. 3 Bay Cisco Xylan
In the 100 Mbps Shared EN market, 3Com and Bay gained ground; Allied Telesis and Accton retreated. In both the 100 Mbps Switched EN and 100+ Mbps ATM markets, Bay surpassed Cisco and regained the no. 1 position during 3Q97. Although 10 Mbps Shared EN Hubs represent a majority of the total port shipments into the Asia Pacific region, its portion of overall ports shipped continues to decline: 1Q97 = 77%, 2Q97 = 71%, 3Q97 = 64%. The adoption rate of new, high speed technologies is greater in Asia than it is in North America and Europe. The Dell'Oro Group is a research and consulting firm that specializes in business planning and strategic competitive analysis in the networking industry. The firm's quarterly Asia/Pacific report provides in-depth data and analysis of the market's vendors, countries, and technologies. Vendors include 15 Asian and North American firms; countries include Australia, China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, and Singapore. Technologies include Shared EN, Switched EN, and ATM.
