Broadband Network Management Investment Rates Outpacing Worldwide Service Revenue Growth Rates, says Insight Research
The rate of telecommunications industry investment in broadband network management systems is actually outpacing broadband service revenues growth rates on a global basis, according to a report released by the Insight Research Corporation. The report says spending on the network management systems needed to manage and maintain new digital cable TV networks, wireless, and phone company networks will grow at a compounded rate of 22 percent between 2004 and 2009, while broadband service revenue is expected to grow at a compounded rate of only 15 percent over the forecast period.
(PRWEB) February 12, 2004 --Insight Researchs most recent report, Broadband Network Management 2004-2009, reveals that worldwide spending on broadband network management systems will jump from $6.1 billion in 2004 to almost $14 billion by 2009. Network management systems (NMSes) will be necessary to work with the new optical elements in an IP-based environment. This market forecast report considers whether true service assurance can be provided in real-time, and whether quality of service (QoS) guarantees actually generate additional revenue.
The first round of investment in broadband NMSes went into the core or long-distance portion of the network just prior to the turn of the Millennium, but now we are witnessing a second wave of network management investment in the access and metro portions of the network," says Robert Rosenberg, President of Insight Research. These NMSes are critical to any broadband service offer; they have to be in place before the any new service is deployed," Rosenberg concludes.
Insight Researchs market analysis study details global and regional network management trends, and forecasts spending on the operations support systems (OSSes) needed to manage these broadband networks. The backdrop for this discussion includes an assessment of the technology behind current access, metro, and core broadband networks; such as SONET, Gigabit Ethernet, ATM, DWDM, IP, DSL, frame relay, and HFC networks. Insights report also addresses key software development issues within the broader context of network management systems.
