Research and Markets: Technological Advancements in OTN Semiconductors have increased their complexity, posing a Threat to the Global OTN Semiconductor Market

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4lmxst/global_otn_semicon) has announced the addition of the "Global OTN Semiconductor Market 2011-2015" report to their offering.

TechNavio launched its report Global OTN Semiconductor Market 2011-2015 based on an in-depth study covering the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions. The report aims to aid decision makers' understanding of the present and future landscape of the market.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio's Telecom team said; The increasing deployment of 10G and 40G optical transmission networks in recent years has increased the deployment of infrastructure with higher capacities. Many large vendors such as Alcatel Lucent, Ciena, and Huawei have announced plans to conduct trials for infrastructure that is capable of handling 400G and Petabit-per-second transmissions. Although these capacities are much larger than currently necessary, the direction of future investment suggests that there will be an exponential rise in the volume of data traffic. As a result, semiconductor companies such as Applied Micro and Cortina are investing heavily in R&D to develop semiconductor processors that are capable of handling ultra-high data transmissions.

According to the report, businesses have witnessed robust data growth over the past few years. Data traffic has increased more than eightfold over the past five years, and it is expected to witness a further threefold increase by 2015. The main reason for the increase in data traffic is the increase in video and file sharing traffic, which accounts for a huge share of data transmissions. Currently, companies are investing heavily to develop the infrastructure required to manage their data storage and transportation requirements, and optical transport network (OTN) is their first choice in the layer 1 protocol.

Further, the report discusses that technological advancements in OTN semiconductors have increased their complexity, posing a threat to the Global OTN Semiconductor market.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key players.
