Optical outlook is brightening
Article Abstract:
Worldwide sales of synchronous-digital-hierarchy (SDH) and synchronous optical network (SONET) equipment reached $1.8 billion in 1997, including those of 1.9 million transmit/receive (T/R) pairs. The sales figure, which indicates that traffic on optical data-transmission networks is increasing, is expected to improve further as unit growth is forecast to reach 23% in 1998, expanding the market to $2.2 billion. Sales results for equipment classified under SONET, the US digital interface standard for optical data transport, and SDH, the international standard set by the International Telecommunications Union, are incorporated in a report entitled Worldwide Market for SONET and SDH Modules, compiled by market research firm KMI Corp.

LMDS, broadband wireless markets headed higher
Article Abstract:
The emerging broadband wireless-access equipment market is projected to grow in 2002 into a $2.4-billion market, based on Strategies Unlimited's LMDS and Broadband Wireless Access - 1998 Market Review and Forecast study. The Federal Communications Commission's March 1998, auction for licenses to offer 28-gigahertz local-multipoint-distribution-system, or LMDS, wireless access services to more than 800 markets netted about $600 million from telecom firms in the US.
