Passive
optical LAN (POL) is a Layer-2 transport medium, built with passive
optical network (PON) technology, which provides converged data,
video, and voice services at gigabit speeds over a single strand of
fiber to the user’s location. These solutions make use of a number
of passive optical components. Majority of these components including
optical cables, optical couplers, optical power splitters, optical
encoders, patch cords and pigtails, optical connectors, optical
amplifiers, optical transceivers, fixed and variable optical
attenuators, optical circulators, wavelength division
multiplexers/de-multiplexers, and optical filters can now be found in
use in FTTH/FTTD applications and data networks. These components
also find use in applications such as fiber in the loop (FITL),
interoffice, loop feeder, hybrid fiber-coaxial cable (HFC),
synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) systems and synchronous optical
network (SONET).
Passive Optical LAN Market -
Components
share in the global passive optical LAN market was dominated by the
wavelength division multiplexers/de-multiplexers in 2013. The patch
cords and pigtails market followed the former accounting for over 11%
of the global market components share owing to high usage in
ultra-high capacity networks. The fixed and variable optical
attenuators and optical amplifiers markets were analyzed to grow at
an above average CAGR following the rising demand for high bandwidths
and the growth in fiber optic technologies, wherein these components
are primarily used.
The
global POL market applications share was dominated by the SDH
application segment. SONET application segment closely followed the
SDH application segment. While SDH equipment is accepted globally,
SONET equipment is majorly used in North America. Thus, both the
application segments are expected to continue their dominance over
the next six years, owing to their ability to transfer multiple
digital bit streams over optical fiber using lasers or LED’s.
The
rising fiber deployments as well as heavy investments on research
infrastructure across the Asia Pacific and RoW regions are propelling
the global POL market. In addition, growth in networking technologies
across both the regions is further bolstering the passive optical LAN
(POL) market. Owing to the above mentioned reasons, the Asia Pacific
region is expected to continue its dominance, followed by the North
American and the European regions in the global POL market.
