CARRIER ETHERNET EQUIPMENT MARKET HIGHLIGHTS

• Mobile backhaul continues to be a particular Carrier Ethernet growth area, with IP/Ethernet equipment making up 93% of all mobile backhaul equipment spending in 2011 (see Infonetics mobile backhaul news at http://bit.ly/IlfJm4)
• Infonetics projects carrier Ethernet equipment revenue to grow to a little over $42.4 billion in 2016 
• The chief market drivers remain service providers moving to IP packet-based next-generation networks, which depend heavily on IP, MPLS, and Ethernet technologies, as well as growing traffic (particularly video traffic) from consumer, business, and mobile backhaul networks 
• Ethernet is a less expensive way to interconnect telecom equipment, whether routers to routers, DSLAMs to routers, or routers to optical gear 
• The largest carrier Ethernet equipment segments by carrier spending are IP routers, carrier Ethernet switches (CES), and optical gear 
• Ethernet-only microwave is the fastest growing carrier Ethernet market segment based on its use for mobile backhaul
