DSLAM Market Outlook: Riding the Broadband Wave

SUMMARY

Abstract

The DSLAM remains a central part of carriers' broadband strategy. While the DSLAM itself is a relatively mature market, it is however still going through changes.

The biggest changes currently affecting the market is the migration to higher bandwidth service offerings, and the move away from ATM based DSLAMs towards IP. Naturally, DSLAM shipments follow DSL service growth, with the majority of DSLAM ports shipped to Asia Pacific and Europe/Middle East/Africa in 2005.

This report examines the worldwide market for DSLAM infrastructure. Included in the report are five-year forecasts of shipments by the different port technologies (ADSL, VDSL, etc.), average selling price per port, and total revenues. It also forecasts the market for IP DSLAMs.

This report also provides 2005 market share by vendor, segmented by geographic regions.
