In this report, Frost & Sullivan focuses on leading service providers of comprehensive wholesale carrier Ethernet services in the US market. The US wholesale carrier Ethernet services market has started to experience negative revenue growth rates, primarily due to price compression and market maturity. The report delivers market forecasts for US wholesale carrier Ethernet services from 2022 to 2026.
Frost & Sullivan defines wholesale Ethernet services as services sold by providers to other carriers, systems integrators, and resellers, which include Ethernet services in all layers (1, 2, and 3). The study includes an in-depth analysis of the key trends impacting the US wholesale carrier Ethernet services market, including growth drivers, growth restraints, market revenue forecasts, and port forecasts. The revenues are not broken down by service configuration (E-Line and E-LAN) in this report.
The analysis is further segmented by transport distance (metro and long haul) and service type (dedicated or port-based services and switched or VLAN-aware services).
