DUBLIN, June 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Optical Equipment Market Outlook for OTN (4G, 5G) Applications: Regional & Global: 2020-2029" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The objectives of this five-section report are to identify the business opportunities for the optical networking equipment market into four protocols or 'ports': WDM, PON (including NG PON), Carrier Ethernet and SDM, including fronthaul and backhaul for 5G.
Opportunities are quantified in both monetary value terms (total addressable market: TAM) and unit (volume) sales in eight-year forecasts. This report is focused exclusively on the optical networking equipment itself. Regionally segmented data are also provided for APAC, Europe and North America. In addition, the author briefly examines the prospects for alternatives to fiber optics in the 5G infrastructure. These comprise millimeter and microwave radio and also free space optics.

At the core of this report are eight-year forecasts for the optical networking equipment market. The publisher has also analyzed the product/market strategies of leading actors in this space and have examined appropriate strategies for optical networking companies and others to better penetrate the 5G fronthaul and backhaul market.

Market data are provided for optical transceivers - up to 1,600G (1.6T). Details of a range of private networks are included. In all instances the effects of the coronavirus pandemic have been factored into the data.
