Research and Markets: The 2009 in-Depth Analysis on World Fiber Optic Test Equipment (FOTE) Markets

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/13022c/world_fiber_optic) has
announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "World Fiber Optic Test
Equipment (FOTE) Markets 2009" to their offering.

Demand for bandwidth is the Key to the Growth of the Fiber Optic Test Equipment
Market, Avers Frost & Sullivan

The optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) and the optical spectrum analyzer
(OSA) markets have had leading growth rates in the world FOTE markets. While the
overall market witnessed a decline in 2008 due to the economic recession, growth
rates are projected to pick up by 2009. "The demand for fiber to the home (FTTH)
is more than the need for testing fiber optic cables and is the main factor
driving the demand for testing equipment," says the analyst of the research.
"The number of houses installed with fiber in the United Kingdom is expected to
cross four million by 2013."

The demand for higher bandwidth and FTTH is the main growth driver for FOTE
products. The need for FOTE products will rise in the future with the progress
of next generation networks and other new technologies. The evolution of
reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs) is a key trend
accelerating the demand for fiber optic testing. "There is mounting pressure
from customers on manufacturers to bring down the price of products; customers
expect equipment with more features at a lower cost," explains the analyst. "In
the current economic situation, this will reduce the manufacturers' profit
margins."

As the FOTE market is mature, it is vital to identify emerging technologies and
growth opportunities as early as possible in order to expand or even maintain
market share. Reduced product innovation and fewer product features will make
survival in this market difficult. "FOTE manufacturers should be able to quickly
assess the needs of their customers and find solutions," concludes the analyst.
"In this mature market, manufacturers should strengthen ties with existing
customers and expand their customer base."
