Research and Markets: Proliferation of Advanced Applications Create an Attractive Market for Communications Test & Measurement Equipment

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c90563) has announced the
addition of "World Communications Test Equipment for Manufacturers
Market" to their offering.

   This study provides an analysis of the world communications test
equipment for manufacturers market. It features revenue forecasts for
the wireline and wireless product segments from 2007 to 2014. A
competitive analysis is also performed to highlight the key
participants in each market.

   Market Overview

   The market for communications test and measurement equipment has
been riding high, with all market segments registering growth. While
transport as well as next-generation networks and services accounted
for the most percentage of growth, the R&D application segment
contributed the largest share of revenues. The market prospects will
continue to remain bright as the communications market is expected to
experience a tremendous increase in the deployment of voice, video,
and data (triple play) over broadband. This places considerable
pressure on network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) to prove the
quality of their network equipment for the IP video and VoIP aspects
of the triple play. Therefore, there has been significant demand for
test equipment that can evaluate the quality of IPTV-ready digital
subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM), fiber to the node (FTTN),
and fiber to the curb (FTTC) equipment.

   "The challenge for communications test equipment vendors is to
continue to keep pace with the technological development in the
telecommunications industry and develop advanced and integrated
equipment to meet the requirements of NEMs," explains the analyst of
this research. "With the market shifting toward 10 Gigabit Ethernet
(GbE) and higher, test vendors are under more pressure than before to
develop products that are capable of meeting the requirements of
increased network speeds."

   Constant Innovation and Development of More Extensive and
Sophisticated Equipment is the Need of the Hour

   NEMs are looking to offer high-speed networks with superior
security features to guard against hacking and breach of data. To
achieve this, they will require not just software products but also
specially designed hardware test solutions. This demand for reliable
networks has provided a huge thrust to the communications test
equipment for manufacturers market.

   NEMs are also offering excellent opportunities for participants in
the access networking segment. "NEMs in the access segment need to
reduce development costs and accelerate time to market, while adapting
to evolving network demands through constant innovation in product and
technology," notes the analyst. "This, in turn, compels test vendors
to develop more cost-effective solutions to test numerous emerging
applications."
