Infonetics: Optical network equipment up 8% in 4Q11
Spending on optical gear grew 8% globally in the fourth quarter of 2011 (4Q11) over the previous quarter as big vendors surged. That’s the finding of the latest Optical Network Hardware vendor market share report by market research firm Infonetics Research."Regional spending trends for optical network hardware were volatile in the final quarter of 2011, with North America down and the rest of the regions up sequentially, including a huge 63% gain in Latin America -- a region showing very positive long-term trends," noted Andrew Schmitt, directing analyst for optical at Infonetics Research.Schmitt continues, "While the typical end-of-year budget flush failed to materialize in North America with AT&T and Verizon spending less, it did appear in full effect in EMEA, particularly Europe, up almost 11%. But the surge in Europe was due mainly to a surge in legacy SDH spending rather than of new WDM gear. Rising legacy spending is a negative leading indicator, as is the reversal in EMEA's rolling four-quarter revenue, which turned negative in 4Q11 after only two quarters of gains."
