Carrier Ethernet continues to be the de facto wide area network (WAN) connectivity service choice among businesses of all sizes, due to the benefits it offers: scalability, reliability, and cost efficient bandwidth. U.S. Business Ethernet market revenues exceeded $6.5 billion in 2018.
Frost & Sullivan defines business carrier Ethernet services as services sold by service providers to enterprises or businesses. Ethernet services include all Layer 1/2/3 services sold under different names, including transparent or native LAN, Gigabit Ethernet (GigE), metro Ethernet, Ethernet private line (EPL), Ethernet virtual private line (EVPL), and virtual private LAN service (VPLS).
Ethernet services delivered over copper, hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC), SONET, DWDM, Layer 2 Ethernet switches, and multi protocol label switching (MPLS) are included in this study.
This study presents an in-depth analysis of the key trends impacting the Business carrier Ethernet services market, and includes market revenue forecasts, ports forecasts and market share analysis. The analysis is segmented by:
• Transport length (metro versus long haul)
• Service type (dedicated versus switched)
• Service configuration (point-to-point and multipoint-to-multipoint)
• Port speeds (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 GigE, 10 Gbps and 100 GE)
