Optical Transport Market Almost Hits $4 B in 2Q16, According to Dell'Oro Group
Huawei Surpassed $ 1 B in Revenue During the Quarter
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recently published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center IT industries, the Optical Transport Equipment market almost hit $4 B in 2Q16, growing six percent year-over year. Huawei, the market leader by revenue share, surpassed the $1 B quarterly revenue run rate for the first time. The only other vendor to better this revenue level was Nortel during the telecom boom cycle of 2000.
"The second quarter of 2016 was another great quarter for the Optical Transport market," said Jimmy Yu, Vice President at Dell'Oro Group. "However, it wasn't an outstanding quarter. It was actually quite turbulent with a number of highs and lows," added Yu.
