Cahners In-Stat Group Announces that the LAN Packet Switch Market Grew 18% in Q199 - BUSINESS WIRE, 08:05 a.m. May 24, 1999 Eastern NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 1999--Cahners In-Stat Group announced in its Q1 1999 Networking Quarterly results that when combined, the Layer 2 and Layer 3 LAN packet switch market grew 18 percent in port shipments for 1999. For Q199, end-use revenue did not grow as aggressively due to the continuing price pressures of the Layer 2 market. End-user revenues grew slightly slower in Q199 at five percent. Cisco, 3Com and Nortel Networks lead the market in both revenue and port shipments with Cisco leading in both segments with 42 percent and 34 percent respectively, according to Cahners In-Stat Group. Cahners In-Stat Group also reports: -- End-use revenue for Layer 2 market increased slightly by four percent in Q199, while port shipments increased 19 percent. Fixed-configured sales are driving this growth, especially in the 10/100 space. -- For the third consecutive quarter, Fast Ethernet Switch ports and end-use revenue surpassed Ethernet ports. According to Cahners In-Stat Group, Gigabit Ethernet is also seeing strong growth in both the Layer 2 and Layer 3 space. "Although Gigabit Ethernet is growing very strong in both Layer 2 and Layer 3, we are starting to see more demand for Gigabit Ethernet in Layer 3 versus Layer 2," said Emmy Johnson, senior analyst for Cahners In-Stat Group. "This is the result of networks needing more bandwidth and functionality in the core as opposed to the closet or workgroup." The report, LAN Packet Switch and Hub Market Analysis, No. CQ9902M1/M6, includes detailed market shares, key vendors and a rolling three-quarter forecast of the LAN hub and switch market. The report was co-authored by Johnson and Mike Wolf, industry analyst.
