Ethernet, the protocol that is ubiquitous in enterprise local area networks, is now being offered by service providers as a metro or wide area service. These publicly available Ethernet services have been among the communications market’s fastest growing segments, with carriers enjoying revenue growth in the range of 30 percent annually as enterprises large and small opt for these new services that are being offered in an array of speeds and reach.
Carrier Ethernet offers the chance to tie customer locations together in what appear to be virtual LANs that can stretch across a metropolitan area, a region, the nation, or the world. Carrier Ethernet offers significant advantages in cost and simplicity and in facilitating convergence—and is often touted as a replacement for legacy data solutions like private line and frame relay. This Insight study projects market size, growth, and revenue, including segmented breakdowns of point-to-point and any-to-any services as well as by interface levels ranging from 10Mbit/s to the emerging 10Gigabit standard. This report provides insight into this emerging arena that will fundamentally shape the communications market of the future.
