2016 100G technology in the network equipment market will be a breakthrough year

IHS today announced network ports: 1G, 2.5G, 10G, 40G, 100G report, the corresponding statistics for each port technology and the growth rate of speed.

"Deploying more than 1G network ports continue unabated, whether business or service provider. In general, the higher the port speed, the higher the growth rate, which means 40G and 100G are key growth areas of the market. However, in 2014, as China's massive increase in GPON OLT expenditure, as well as North America gigabit FTTH deployments, 2.5G products increased the most. "Matthias Machowinski IHS enterprise networks and video research director said. "Looking ahead, we expect 40G revenue began to fall in 2017, the demand for enterprise and data center move to a new release based QSFP 100G technology."

For operators of transmission networks, IHS research director believes that 2016 was a breakthrough year for 100G coherent technology, such as Google, Microsoft and Amazon to massive ultra-large-scale data center launched 100G Ethernet switching technology.

IHS expects: 1G / 2.5G / 10G / 40G / 100G port shipments in 2015 will be over 700 million, amounting to $ 45 billion, compared to 2014, 100G port shipments more than doubled, to 163,000 ports .

IHS predicted five years from 2014-2019, the global income 100G ports will be 137 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) growth.
