In this study, Frost & Sullivan focuses on leading service providers that provide comprehensive Ethernet services (retail and wholesale) offerings in North America. The North American Ethernet services market continues to experience negative revenue growth rates, primarily due to price compression, market maturity, and the increasing adoption of SD-WAN, allowing multiple connectivity choices. Frost & Sullivan defines retail Ethernet services as services sold by service providers to enterprises or businesses, which include Ethernet services in all the layers of services (1, 2, and 3), while wholesale Ethernet services are services sold by service providers to other carriers, system integrators, and resellers, including Ethernet services in all the layers of services (1, 2, and 3). The study covers the market forecast for North American Ethernet services from 2024 to 2029. The forecast is further segmented by transport distance (metro versus long haul) and service type (dedicated or switched services). The study also covers retail port forecast.
