Wireline to shine

Between 2013 and 2018, primary growth will come from wireline and not wireless.

The global telecom service provider telecom equipment market includes access, carrier IP telephony, microwave, mobile RAN, optical, SP routers, SP Wi-Fi, and wireless packet core.

Wireless and wireline telecom markets will grow at a CAGR of 1 percent and 3 percent, respectively between 2013 and 2018.

Microwave, optical, SP routers, and wireless packet core will drive the majority of the growth in the forecast period.

Tam Dell’Oro, president and founder of Dell’Oro Group, said: “While we believe carriers will continue to enhance their wireless networks, we anticipate carriers will put more emphasis on backhauling traffic which means improving their wireline networks in the next five years.”
