The 2018 US wholesale Carrier Ethernet services market revenues exceeded $5.15 billion. Key factors sustaining market growth include:
--Continued demand from wireline carriers—traditional interexchange carriers (IXCs), competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), and international carriers seeking to expand their network footprint
--Business market demand for Ethernet access to connect to DIA and MPLS, and now increasingly for SD-WAN connectivity, which, in turn, is driving wholesale market demand
--Enterprise market demand for Ethernet to connect to cloud, which, in turn, is driving wholesale market demand, as service providers look to expand their footprint
--Demand for mobile network operators (MNOs) for macrocell upgrades to support traffic growth on their LTE network, and 5G rollouts
Frost & Sullivan defines wholesale services as services sold by service providers to other carriers, system integrators and resellers. This study updates the analysis presented in Frost & Sullivan's 2017 study U.S. Wholesale Carrier Ethernet Services Market Update (BCS 11-2).
This study presents an in-depth analysis of the key trends impacting the wholesale carrier Ethernet services market, and includes market revenue forecasts and market share analysis. The analysis is segmented by:
--Transport length (metro versus long haul)
--Service type (dedicated or port-based versus switched or VLAN-aware)
